Meeting Description: 

In 'The Benefits and Challenges of Linguistic Diversity in Europe,' Leonard
Orban (2009), European Commissioner for Multilingualism, strongly expresses his
commitment to preserving and promoting European linguistic and cultural
diversity. Yet a special Eurobarometer study on Multilingualism, launched by the
Directorate General for Education and Culture in 2005, clearly indicates that
while English is only the second most widely-spoken mother tongue in Europe, it
is by far the most widely-spoken foreign language throughout Europe, with 38% of
EU citizens stating that they have sufficient skills in English to have a
conversation. The conference wishes to address the issue of English as a
European lingua franca seen from the perspectives of Linguistics, Translation
Studies, Literature, and English-Language Teaching.
