Meeting Description:

The Language Teaching Centre of the University of Freiburg will host the
international conference on ''Multilingualism in Society, Politics and
Education'' from 16-18 March 2017.

Confirmed Keynote Speakers:

Elizabeth Lanza, University of Oslo, Norway
Rosemarie Tracy, University of Mannheim, Germany
Natalia Gagarina, Centre for General Linguistics (ZAS), Berlin, Germany
 
The purpose of this conference is to bring together practitioners and
researchers of language teaching and (adult as well as child) language
acquisition, heads of language centres at higher education institutions, and
heads of the language units at schools and other relevant institutions with
decision makers from the fields of politics and social services. Combining the
fields ''education and teaching'' and ''politics and society'' should lead to
stimulating discussions and, ideally, novel approaches as well as new ways for
implementing solutions.
