Call Deadline: 30-Nov-2022 

Meeting Description:

Academic language is an important part of the languages of schooling (Beacco
et al, 2016), and, apart from including the whole variety of languages used at
school, languages of schooling also include languages across the curriculum.
As each discipline constructs knowledge in subject-specific ways, academic
language is dependent on disciplinary conventions (Shanahan & Shanahan, 2008).
Disciplines shape the linguistic features required for knowledge construction
and communication, as some linguistic features are prevalent in certain
disciplines. However, in classrooms all over the world, learners are engaged
in learning content in a language that they do not speak at home. The language
of instruction for many students in multilingual education contexts is not
their L1 or a dominant language and, consequently, the integration of
disciplinary content and language(s) is a matter to be considered. Therefore
in some cases, literacy may be uncompleted.

Against this backdrop, the aim at this conference is to bring new research
evidence on the development of academic literacies in multilingual contexts.
It is therefore crucial to achieve a research-based understanding of the
knowledge base(s) needed by language teachers as well as their processes of
becoming and continuously developing as teachers. Teachers and researchers
from diverse cultural, linguistic and professional backgrounds are therefore
invited to participate in this meeting.


Call for Papers:

We invite researchers and practitioners to present research findings in
emerging areas of academic literacies research. Individual papers or poster
proposals are accepted in this call for papers. The time allotted for
individual papers is 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes for discussion.
Proposals should contain original unpublished research that is not yet
accessible to the scientific community. We look forward to receiving
submissions on these and other emerging topics such as the following:

- Academic literacies in secondary and higher education
- Academic literacies in multilingual contexts
- Pluriliteracies approach for deeper learning
- Teacher training and academic literacies
- Classroom practices
- Integration of language and content
- Multilingual and intercultural competence
- Language(s) across the curriculum
- Cognitive Discourse Functions

Each participant can submit a maximum of 2 proposals: either both co-authored
proposals or one individual and one co-authored proposal.

All submitted abstract proposals should be:

* As follows:
- Title
- Author(s) (name, affiliation, email)
- Abstract (including topic presentation, objective, methodology, results and
conclusion)
-  3 to 5 keywords
- References
* Written in English or Basque.
* No longer than 300 words (not including bibliography).
* Sent to the conference email: academic.literacies at mondragon.edu.

We welcome contributions from new and experienced practitioners and
researchers on any line of research mentioned above. Abstracts will be
accepted in English or Basque. We look forward to receiving your abstracts in
due course and anticipate an exciting exchange and debate. Meanwhile, we would
be grateful if you could circulate this call within your network.
