Meeting Description:

The research group Multilingualism on My Mind (MoMM) at the University of
Bergen’s Department of Foreign Languages (see the About MoMM page) is
organizing a two-day virtual conference on multilingualism in education from
18-19 March 2021. The decision to hold such a conference comes as societies
become increasingly multicultural and linguistically diverse, with
far-reaching implications for how education is conceptualized, delivered, and
received. For instance, what steps do policymakers and teachers need to take
to enhance all students’ multilingualism? How can a multilingual approach to
education improve students’ language awareness, language skills, and academic
performance? How can it empower students’ identities and increase their
confidence and motivation to learn languages? Even though most school and
university students can be considered multilingual, do they actually identify
themselves as such and view their multilingualism as a resource for themselves
and society? The MoMM 2021 conference welcomes contributions from all across
the globe and from a variety of perspectives to explore these questions and
others related to multilingualism in education. Please visit our website for
further details. 


Call for Papers: 

The conference would like to invite proposals from researchers, including
Ph.D. and master’s students, that cover original research on multilingualism
in education. Proposals can also cover practitioner accounts of implementing
specific activities and approaches related to multilingualism in education. We
therefore strongly encourage teachers to submit such proposals and share their
experiences.

All proposals must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another
conference. Each participant can submit a maximum of one proposal where they
are the sole author of their work. They may submit a second proposal where the
work was a collaborative project between several authors.

There are two main forms of participation. The following proposal categories
are welcome:
 - Traditional presentation: 30 minutes (20 minute presentation + 10 minute
Q&A session)
 - Rapid presentation: 15 minutes (10 minute presentation + 5 minute Q&A)

Please note that the time limit will be strictly adhered to. Proposals should
take the form of a 200-word abstract (excluding references and in .pdf
format). Do not include any identifying information or keywords in the
document you upload. Each proposal will undergo a double-blind peer review
process involving a minimum of two reviewers. Note that all conference
presentations are expected to be carried out in English, although there will
be a special session devoted to presentations in Scandinavian languages.
During the submission process, you will be asked to indicate if you would like
to present in the special session.

The deadline for submissions is 20 January 2021, and acceptance notifications
will be sent out in early February 2021. There are no fees for participating
in the conference.

We especially welcome proposals related to the following themes:
 - Multilingual education policies
 - Teachers’ and teacher educators’ beliefs about multilingualism
 - Pedagogical approaches to multilingualism
 - Multilingualism, language learning, and language awareness
 - Multilingualism and assessment
 - Multilingual identity development
 - The intersection of multilingualism and intercultural learning
 - Enhancing multilingualism in the school subjects (language and non-language
subjects)
 - Multilingualism and global citizenship
 - Multilingualism in higher education

Proposals on themes other than the ones listed here are also welcome as long
as they adhere to the conference’s overarching theme (i.e. multilingualism in
education).
