Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Language Acquisition 

Meeting Description: 

Current language pedagogy is more and more confronted with notions such as 'intercultural learning', 'intercultural communication' and 'multicultural society'. In spite of this growing interest, we still know little about the actual realization of what is referred to as 'sociocultural competence' within the setting of multilingual education.

The international conference 'Sociocultural Competence & Language Learning in Multilingual Settings' will bring together researchers and language teachers from across the globe interested in the role of sociocultural competence and intercultural communication in language learning and teaching. It aims to generate new insights on a range of topics, such as discussions of theoretical frameworks, methodological decisions and practical implications.

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 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and 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.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
