Focus: The International Summer School in “Language Policy and Language Planning: education, languages and migrations” aims at providing theoretical and practical competences in the field of multilingualism.

The Summer School of this year (in its 2nd Edition) is entitled “Teacher as a Language Policy Maker”.
Minimum Education Level: Undergraduate


Description:
International studies on the concept of “teacher agency” (Priestley, Biesta &
Robinson, 2015) has gained a key-role in educational linguistic research in
the past few years. 

For a long time, in language policy research the central role of teachers has
been overlooked; yet teachers are key agents in the implementation of policies
at the classroom level (Chua & Baldauf, 2011) and often show resistance to
top-down policies. In the post-modern era, teachers are also called to promote
processes of inversion of power relations, not only in the school
micro-contexts, but also at a social level (García 2016). 

On the base of the above-mentioned theoretical background, the main topics of
the seminars and workshops of the Summer School will be the following:

- Teacher agency and advocacy in the field of language rights

- Ethnography of language policy

- Implementing multilingual education in class and global citizenship -
oriented education

- Translanguaging as a pedagogical praxis and as a research perspective

- Teachers’ development and Critical Multilingual Language Awareness

- Language-cultural mediation and language brokering

In addition, specific information concerning qualitative and quantitative
research methodologies in linguistic, educational linguistic, sociolinguistic
and ethnographic fields will be provided.

Invited speakers:

Prof. Christine Hélot (University of Strasbourg, France)

Prof. Maite Sanchez (Hunter College, City University of New York - CUNY
NYSIEB, USA)

Prof. Rachele Antonini (University of Bologna, Italy)

Who can participate

The Summer School is mainly addressed to:

- PhD students, Post-Doc fellows and researchers interested in the
above-mentioned research and disciplinary fields and topics;
