Meeting Description:

Université Paris-Sorbonne’s Education Department (ESPE de Paris) will host the

CeLiSo research unit, the SIAL (Service Interuniversitaire d’Apprentissage des
Langues) and Université Pierre et Marie Curie’s language centers. This
international conference will question the notion of language learning and
research spaces in the digital age.

We look forward to seeing you in Paris !

Call for Papers: 

Université Paris-Sorbonne’s Education Department (ESPE de Paris) will host the
24th RANACLES Conference on 24-26 November 2016.

With the advent of Web 2.0 technologies, major shifts linked to globalization,
mobility and community participation now challenge the traditional definitions
of second language (L2) learning spaces, as well as of spaces dedicated to
research in the field of L2 learning and teaching.

The concepts of place, environment, time and space, or even negotiation of
meaning are particularly being called into question by these changes; and
these in turn offer multiple prospects for both L2 learning and L2 research.

The days when learners had to go from one place to another to consult
information resources seem to be over, and the very nature and roles of L2
learning spaces may need to be reconsidered in terms of, e.g., interaction,
socialization, mutual confidence and cooperation… Hence the following
questions: how can we define and describe the forms taken by these spaces?
What are their functions and their roles? How can pedagogical design and
spatial design be articulated?

The digital world also makes it possible to expand the complexity of projects,
and the study of learning processes related to this higher complexity is
therefore becoming part of the research landscape. Such is the case, for
instance, of corpus building projects which make structured and contextualized
data freely available, thus paving the way for collaborative research work.

Presentations covering the following themes are particularly encouraged:

- Language centers: physical spaces, virtual spaces, or hybrid spaces?
- Autonomy of language centers in the institutional environment of university
clusters
- Language learning spaces and mobility
- Spaces dedicated to assessment and certification
- Formal and informal learning spaces
- Personal learning spaces
- Research spaces
