Subject: Call for chapters - Multilingual Classroom

 
Call for chapters - ''Challenges & Strategies in Teaching Content Courses to
Students in a 2nd or 3rd language''

Rationale:

This volume proposes to investigate how educators in Europe and the Americas
deal with a multilingual student base, and seek to mitigate difficulties in
acquiring and creating knowledge in a language that the students, and often
the professors, have acquired as adults. This language is often English, but
within programs such as Erasmus in the European Union, students must often
study and read complex material in a third language such as French or Spanish
which they do no always master at a satisfactory level. This is also
increasingly true in the U.S. and Canada, where both researchers and students
are often from non-English speaking backgrounds.
Thus, researchers and educators on both sides of the Atlantic must develop
strategies, including online resources, that address and acknowledge the bi-
and multilingualism of their students, by improving their skills in the target
language but also by providing material in other languages and using
bilingualism to their advantage, rather than to see it as an obstacle to
teaching complex topics at the University level. This objective is important
to European integration, and to globalization more generally which includes
increasing multilingualism in the United States and Canada.
This volume builds on the recognition that teaching and learning excellence
must take into account linguistic diversity among both students and faculty at
universities on both sides of the Atlantic.
 
Objective:

The objective of this volume is to examine in which ways innovative and
technology-enhanced approaches can address the issue of multilingualism among
students and faculty at different universities, and enhance teaching by
including material in different languages, either in the classroom or in
online content. In addition to theoretical issues related to the use of second
or foreign languages in the classroom, this volume proposes to examine a
number of case studies at different institutions in Europe and the Americas. 

Topics:

The Editors of the volume seek chapters that address, but are not limited to,
the following issues:
- Educational strategies in teaching to students of different language
backgrounds 
- ICT-enhanced tools and approaches aiming at including material in other
languages to facilitate student learning; 
- Theoretical approaches to learning advanced content in a second or foreign
language
- case-studies of multilingual classrooms
- sociolinguistic issues

Timeline:

- Abstract submission deadline: August 20, 2019
- Full draft submission deadline: November 20, 2019
- Following the submission of the abstracts, detailed formatting guidelines
and deadlines will be circulated; 
- Should you have any questions, please contact the editor : Patrick-André
Mather, patrick.mather at upr.edu

Following the necessary review and approval process, the edited volume will be
published by Emerald Publishing, UK. It will be a part of an Emerald series
titled Emerald Studies in Higher Education, Innovation and Technology edited
by Drs. Miltiadis Lytras and Anna Visvizi.
