Meeting Description:

This triennial international conference provides an exchange platform
for current empirical insights into the learning and teaching of
additional languages to young learners with a special focus on
instructed primary school contexts (age 5-12). The aim is to better
understand the factors which contribute to effective and motivating
early language teaching and to identify research gaps which need to be
tackled in the future. With its clear empirical focus, the conference
strives to advance evidence-based insights into early language
learning and teaching in instructional contexts. While the conference
language will be English, research on any target language and from any
part of the globe is welcome.

We are delighted to welcome the following plenary speakers at the
conference:
·         Prof. Dr. Annamaria Pinter (University of Warwick, UK)
·         Dr. Karen Roehr-Brackin (University of Essex, UK)
·         Prof. Dr. Yolanda Ruiz de Zarobe (University of the Basque
Country, Spain)

Call for Papers:

The conference organizers would like to invite proposals for 25-minute
presentations, followed by 15-minute discussions, that have a clear
