Meeting Description:

The School of English of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in
Greece, in cooperation with ELLMEnet (Early Language Learning and
Multilingual Education Network) and GALA (the Greek Applied
Linguistics Association), are proud to welcome researchers from all
over the world to contribute to our 3rd International Conference on
Early Language Learning and Multilingual Education in Early Childhood.
In an increasingly interconnected and globalized world, the
significance of multilingualism in the very early years of a child's
development cannot be overlooked. The acquisition of multiple
languages during the educational stages of life not only enriches
cognitive and linguistic abilities, but also fosters a deep
appreciation for diverse cultures and perspectives. This burgeoning
area of research has garnered substantial attention from scholars,
educators, and policymakers alike, as the advantages of early
multilingual exposure extend beyond linguistic prowess to encompass
broader cognitive, socio-cultural, and educational dimensions. This
3rd ELLME Conference will serve a pivotal platform to delve into the
intricate interplay between language acquisition, cognitive
development, and social and family engagement.

Promoted by ELLMEnet, this international conference aims at analysing
and discussing issues related to multilingualism, in its broadest
sense, from birth until the beginning of the compulsory education
stage, usually 6/7 years old, as well as the transition from this
period into Primary Education (8 years old approx.).

So as to encourage discussions, 3 international keynotes have been
invited to contribute to the conference:
★ Prof. Emeritus Joseph Lo Bianco, University of Melbourne, Australia
★ Prof. Beatriz Cortina-Pérez, University of Granada, Spain
★ Prof. Marina Tzakosta, University of Crete

Call for Papers:

Researchers, PhD students and practitioners are welcome to present
research- or pedagogical-oriented communications related to children
from 0 up to 8 years old approximately, contextualised in any
multilingual context (second language, foreign language, additional
language, minority language, heritage language, sign language, etc.).

Possible topics of interest are:
1. Early language learning
2. Early bi-/multilingual education
3. Early multilingual acquisition
4. Early multilingual identity
5. Multilingual families
6. Second or foreign (L2/F2) language teaching/learning at preschool
7. Classroom practices in early multilingual education
8. Methodological and ethical issues on early multilingual research
9. Teacher Education on multilingualism
10. Multilingual policies for early years

Types of speakers’ contributions.

As a speaker you can present up to two contributions of the following
modalities:
a) Presentations: 15-min communication + 5 min discussion
b) Workshops: 60-min workshop with a hands-on approach in any of the
conference topics either research- or pedagogical-oriented.
c) Self-organised symposium: including 3-4 different communications
around a topic in a 60 min. slot with at least 10 minutes for
discussion after participants’ presentations. The chair of the
symposium will need to select and organise the papers included.
d) Poster: slots will be devoted in the conference for poster
presentation, where participants will have the opportunity to discuss
with their authors. Posters should be research-oriented. Instructions
on poster specifications will be provided on acceptance.

Submission details may be found on the conference website.
