Meeting Description:

Second Colloquium on Language Contact in Education: Multilingual Competences
and Practices (LCEMCP)
Faculté des Sciences de l’Education
Mohamed V University – Rabat – Morocco 
13 - 14 March, 2019

Multilingualism predominates in many parts of the world and a considerable
number of people find it useful, even necessary, to have some amount of
proficiency in more than one language. However, the benefits of
multilingualism for individuals and communities are often accompanied by
dangers on identities, cultures and less powerful languages. An essential
challenge for modern societies which promote multilingualism is to maintain
control over its potential threats. Many countries now have policies designed
to protect endangered languages but education plays an equally important role
in shaping youth’s national identity and fostering cultural awareness.
Understanding multilingual competences and practices will contribute to
achieving those purposes given that the complex process of multilingual
acquisition invokes nationalism, politics, history, ideology, attitudes,
beliefs, preferences, identity, culture and power relations between languages;
 and the resulting linguistic behaviour reflects the same constructs. 

The conference seeks to to bring together worldwide researchers and scholars
to share their research results on the factors that contribute to shaping
multilingual competences and the patterns that distinguish multilingual
practices in different communities. The ultimate objective is to inform
additional language learning and teaching and reflect on multilingualism and
diversity management. To attain the conference objectives, we invite papers in
all areas of research that address linguistic, sociolinguistic,
psycholinguistic, neurolinguistic or educational issues pertaining to
multilingual minds and environments.
