Conference theme

CALPIU’12 is the second open conference organized by the CALPIU
Research Centre for the Study of Cultural and Linguistic Practices in
the International University. The aim of CALPIU’12 is to discuss
various aspects of the consequences of transnational student mobility.
Student mobility makes necessary both cultural and linguistic
accommodation and learning processes. We are witnessing a huge
increase in the learning of languages to be used as lingua francas by
academic teachers and students, not least English, ‘the language of
Globalization’. However, forces of ‘localization’, too, are manifest
at every university trying to adopt internationalization strategies,
the tension between the global and the local – uniformity and
diversification – creating a multidimensional space for new kinds of
cultural and linguistic hybridity to flourish in. There is a new
open-mindedness regarding the roles and identities of self and others,
leading to new patterns of linguistic/interactive, educational and
social practices. We aim to further the theoretical understanding of
these processes, those of active and receptive multilingualism as well
as language alternation in interaction.
