Meeting Description:

11th International Scientific Conference
CHILDREN AND LANGUAGES TODAY
Language (of the) textbooks

The Conference will be held on October 12 and 13, 2023 in Osijek,
organized by the Department of Croatian Studies and the Department of
English Studies of the Faculty of Education, Josip Juraj Strossmayer
University of Osijek.

By starting school, children's communicative competence (the ability
to produce clear, meaningful and comprehensible sentences)  continues
to develop and is complemented by metalinguistic competence (knowledge
of phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics of the
mother and second languages). Encouraging children's language
development in institutional learning is significantly influenced by
the textbook, that is, the language used in the textbook. In order to
fulfill the basic function of a book intended for a child to
successfully learn and acquire knowledge, the textbook should support
children's language development. Previous research into the language
used textbooks has shown that the language of instruction is often not
adapted to children's psychophysical and linguistic development.
Furthermore, the question arises as to what extent the language of the
textbook is highly standardized at all language levels, in other
words, whether there is a deviation from the standard language norms
and whether it is there (un)consciously and for what purpose.

Therefore, the aim of the Children and Languages Today Conference, the
central topic of which is the language of textbooks, is to bring
together scientists who will complete the previous knowledge about the
mother tongue and second language textbooks’ role, as well as
textbooks as incentives for children's language development. Given the
challenges and motivation for different research and scientific
approaches offered by the central theme, scientists of different
profiles can contribute to the theme within the framework of the
proposed sub-themes:

1. Textbooks’ linguistic level of mother tongue and second languages

Textbook language and child language / textbook and early language
learning

Morphological, syntactic and lexical features of the textbook language

Linguistic universals in textbooks (antonymy, synonymy, homonymy and
polysemy)

Standard language norm in textbooks

Dialects and local speeches in textbooks

Segments of spoken language in textbooks

Stylistic level of the textbooks

2. Teaching methodology level of native and second language textbooks

Language of the subject textbooks and fundamental science

Teaching methodology principles for designing language textbooks

Contemporary teaching strategies and the concept of language textbooks

Texts in textbooks / Genre diversity of textbooks / Textbook and
non-textbook texts

Language textbooks and students with disabilities / Adaptation of

blind, visually impaired, deaf, etc.)

3. Literature, culture and identity in textbooks

Ethical and ideological characteristics of language textbooks
(culture, civic values and political correctness)

Multiculturalism and interculturality in the language of textbooks /
The role of language textbooks in a multilingual environment /
Minority language textbooks / The influence of language policies on
the language of textbooks

Multimedia level of language textbooks / Digital contents in language
