Meeting Description:

Our fast-changing world has been experiencing social challenges that
seem to be away from classrooms, even though they still affect our
students and us as we coexist in the same society. Since the previous
version of this conference explored current research conducted in the
field of language learning and teaching in the Southern Hemisphere,
this second version of the event will focus on teachers, students, and
the act of teaching as agents of change in what is known as the
‘Developing World’

According to Paulo Freire, “education is not neutral”, so we as
teachers cannot continue pretending our performance is not a political
one. Indeed, Chile has had several demonstrations and protests from
learning communities (2005, 2006, and 2011 were the largest; students
have continued their fight until today), whose main demands were
included in the new constitution proposal (which was voted against on
September 4th). Other countries in our region have also experienced
these massive protests, like Colombia (2011 and 2018), Brazil (2013),
Nicaragua (2018), and Mexico (2012). If we expand our scope, then we
can find similar protests in South Africa (2015), Iraq, Lebanon, and
Mauritius (2019), and Turkey (2021). However, these events are part of
a larger social unrest that each country has had to deal with, usually
resulting in even larger protests as most demands are not met. That is
why this conference will continue examining learning and teaching
practices of languages in the Southern Hemisphere and the ‘Developing
World’, but this time we are adding the ever-present political
dimension that our practices have.

Final Call for Papers:

The Department of Linguistics at University of Chile invites you to
the second Research Conference Learning and teaching languages in the
21 st -century Southern Hemisphere and the ‘Developing World’:
teachers, students and the act of teaching as agents of change, which
will be hosted online during October 26th and 27th, 2023. This online
conference offers researchers, teachers, and students an instance to
meet and explore how teaching, learning, and using languages is done
in the Southern Hemisphere and countries labeled as ‘developing’. It
will also provide the attendants with the opportunity to examine how
politics and social issues intersect with our practices in the
classrooms in places away from Europe and North America.
