Meeting Description:

The purpose of this two-day conference is to explore different aspects
of mother-tongue, or more specifically, home, heritage, and community
language education. In today’s globalised world there is a need for
trained teachers and innovative pedagogies to teach pupils from
migrant backgrounds in schools. Moreover, it is the human right of
linguistic minorities to have access to tuition in their heritage or
home language, which contributes to an equal and democratic society.
Home, heritage, and community language tuition is also a tool to
reclaim and revitalise Indigenous and other historical minority
languages (e.g., Yiddish, Romani) that are threatened. However, the
teaching of non-majority languages often faces challenges due to
limited resources and classroom time. Moreover, approaches to teaching
home languages that build on and reflect local languaging practices
are needed.

Topics of relevance (but not limited to) are:

Training and qualifications of home, heritage, and community language
teachers
Innovative pedagogies, including virtual solutions
Teaching materials for the home, heritage, and community language
context
Translanguaging and the use of majority language in the classroom
Structural features in the language of home, heritage, and community
language pupils and students
Practitioner perspectives on the teaching of home, heritage, and
community languages
Polycentricism and localised standards in the classroom
Policy vs. reality
The role of different stakeholders (e.g., government, parents,
schools)
Studies on specific migrant, Indigenous, or other language communities
in different countries
Heritage speakers vs. second language speakers
The role of culture and literature in the teaching of home, heritage,
and community languages
Pedagogical uses of children’s books and young adult fiction

Call for Papers:

The conference committee invites abstracts for individual
presentations on original research or pedagogy-focused topics by one
or more authors. Presentations will be a maximum of 20 minutes with 10
minutes for discussion. Abstracts of maximum 500 words (excluding
references) addressing social, affective and classroom aspects
relevant to education in non-majority languages are welcome. The
conference language is English. Abstract submission will close on 15
August 2023. All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously, and
notification of acceptance will be sent by 1 September 2023. Please
submit your abstract using this web form:
https://doit.medfarm.uu.se/bin/kurt3/kurt/90366

There will be a possibility to publish a full paper in a peer-reviewed
edited volume or a special issue shortly after the conference (early
2024)
