Meeting Description:

UZRT 2024: Early Language Learning in Formal Contexts

Croatia was among the first European countries to introduce mandatory
learning of a first foreign language from the first grade of primary
school. The precursors to this initiative were 1970s pioneering
studies on early learning of English (e.g., Vilke, 1976, 1979), and
research projects that ensued (e.g., Vilke, 1991, 1995), which
included studies on early learning of additional three foreign
languages (e.g., Kruhan, 1993; Sironić Bonefačić, 1993; Vrhovac 1993);
body of work which was referred to as Zagreb School of Early Language
Learning (Vilke, 1999).
In the academic year 2023/24, we are celebrating the 20th anniversary
of mandatory foreign language learning from the first grade of primary
education. We would like to take this opportunity to assess past
experiences and practices in early language education and to address
present challenges and necessary modifications in light of research
done in the field in the past 20 years. We would also like to broaden
our scope to include more contemporary issues of pre-primary, as well
as multiple language learning at an early age in formal contexts.

Final Call for Papers:

abstract submission deadline extended

We invite researchers to present and discuss current research in the
field of early language /multiple language learning, from both
educational and linguistic perspectives, focusing on the processes and
outcomes and the way they are affected by the educational provision
itself. We hope to make it the basis for comparison of experiences of
early language learning in different countries and across different
contexts, and the platform for creating synergies for future
cooperation and projects.


We accept symposium or single paper proposals that focus on:
Language development at an early age
Literacy development at an early age
Young learner individual differences (motivation, anxiety, attitude,
autonomy, emotion, etc.)
Research methodology in research on/with young language learners
Teachers of young learners
Language teacher education
Technology in early language teaching and learning
Early learning materials development
Assessment in early language education
Methods and approaches in early language learning
Innovative practices in early language education
Language and literacy development for children with language
impairment and other disabilities
Early language learning policy
Plurilingual approaches to early language teaching
Language immersion, heritage, and minority education at an early age
Multilingual classroom, translanguaging, and plurilingualism
Early language curriculum development and assessment
Teaching 2nd, 3rd and additional languages at an early age
Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) at an early age
