Meeting Description:

The aim of the conference is to highlight both good classroom practices of
language learning and teaching and recent research on preparatory education.
The focus in the plenary lectures, presentations and posters is on situations
where the school language is new for a student. These situations are discussed
from the perspective of teachers, students, education providers’ and different
school subjects. Participation in the conference is possible either for the
whole duration of the event or only for one day.


Call for Papers:

Meeting in the Middle is a two-year project for studying and developing
preparatory education. The project is funded by the Ministry of Education and
Culture. We are pleased to invite you to participate in the final conference
of the project to be held 22–23 August 2019 at the Faculty of Education,
University of Helsinki. The languages of the conference are English and
Finnish. The aim of the conference is to highlight both good classroom
practices of language learning and teaching and recent research on preparatory
education. The focus in the plenary lectures, presentations and posters is on
situations where the school language is new for a student. These situations
are discussed from the perspective of teachers, students, education providers’
and different school subjects. Participation in the conference is possible
either for the whole duration of the event or only for one day.

We invite presentations and posters that focus on the initial stages of second
language learning in the contexts of primary and secondary education.
Abstracts could address, for instance, the following themes: How can language
awareness be part of preparatory teaching? What is the role of the first
language in learning a new language? How does preparatory teaching function in
classrooms where there are multiple first languages? What kinds of skills
should a teacher have in order to teach students during their preparatory
phase? What is the difference between preparatory education in a specific
transitional classroom and teaching given in the classrooms of mainstream
education? How long does the preparatory phase last when the focus is on the
learning process instead of the formal support of the educational provider?
How can mathematics and science be taught without a common language between a
teacher and a student? How can subjects in the field of humanities and social
sciences be taught and learned in the early stages of second language
learning? How can second language learners with emerging literacy be supported
on their school path?

Paper presentations will be allocated 25 minutes including 5 minutes for
questions and answers. Paper and poster abstracts should be max. 2500
characters and pictures and tables should not be attached to the abstract. The
proposals for papers and posters will be evaluated by the scientific board.

Please submit your abstract by sending it to vastaantulo at helsinki.fi. Deadline
for submissions is 16 June 2019. Registration for the conference opens 10 June
2019 and the deadline to register is 10 August 2019.
