Training Institute in Multilingualism Research 

Date: 20-Jun-2011 - 24-Jun-2011 
Location: Prague, Czech Republic 
Contact: Oliver Engelhardt

Meeting URL: http://linee.info/linee/events/training-institutes.html 

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Sociolinguistics 

Meeting Description: 

Following the success of LINEE Training Institutes in Brussels (2007), 
Bolzano (2008) and Prague (2009 and 2010), doctoral students 
researching various aspects of multilingualism in Europe will once again 
meet for the exchange of ideas and training. They will be provided with the 
opportunity for interaction with renowned resource persons, both local and 
from abroad, in a number of different settings (lecture and seminar settings, 
poster sessions, informal encounters, meals). Prague, a city known for its 
aesthetic value in particular, has for years been a symbol of intellectual and 
cultural engagement and language studies. Since 1989, it has been 
gradually developing into a site of emerging multilingualism, the experience 
of which participants in the Training Institute are invited to share.

Thematic Areas
- Language, Culture and Identity
- Language Policy and Planning
- Multilingualism and Education
- Language and Economy

Resource persons
- Erzsébet Barát, Szegedi Tudományegyetem, Hungary
- Rita Franceschini, Freie Universitaet Bozen / Libera Università di Bolzano, 
Italy
- Peter Weber, Hochschule fuer Angewandte Sprachen, Muenchen, 
Germany
- Iwar Werlen, Universitaet Bern, Switzerland

Students will also have the opportunity to interact with local experts in the 
areas of nationalism studies and the Vietnamese community in the Czech 
Republic. 

Course set-up

Four resource persons (one for each thematic area) will each hold one 90-
minute session in lecture format and one 90-minute session in seminar 
format. In addition, there will be two lectures by scholars working in the 
Czech context (including Prof. Miroslav Hroch). The doctoral students will 
present their work during two poster sessions (with a brief oral component). 
There will also be a thematic excursion relating to linguistic minorities, and 
several social events.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and 
as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a 
registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-

sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information 
visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will 
match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails 
your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form 
that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is 
generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your 
gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment 
to check if your company operates such a program.
