No publisher editor conference 2010-02-26T14:04:24Z Event http://www.iclhe.org/events/the-1st-freiburg-language-policy-and-language-teaching-conference-multilingualism-and-aspects-of-intercultural-and-transcultural-language-teaching The 2010 Topic: “Multilingualism and Aspects of Intercultural and Transcultural Language Teaching” The topic for this year’s conference originated from the (very) fact that the University of Freiburg in Germany is located almost directly at the borders to Switzerland and France. This geographical location brings with it the possibility for contact and exchange with the universities and other institutions of higher education in our neighbouring countries. This in turn provides an incentive to instructors and students in all three lands. An important goal here is to encourage mobility, particularly among students, and thereby increase cross-border, educational exchange. EUCOR (European Confederation of Upper Rhine Universities) has a central function in achieving this aim. When it comes to language policy, the Upper Rhine Region has long been seen as being multilingual. Numerous measures and projects have been initiated to promote the learning of the language spoken in the neighbouring country and to ensure that residents have the language competencies needed for the regional and European employment market. This same situation can be seen all across Europe. A glance at the borders between Poland and Germany or France and Spain shows that living near to another country opens up a realm of possibilities in social, political and educational sectors, provided of course, such opportunities are taken advantage of in a timely manner and appropriate steps are initiated in the proper places, such as schools and universities. An additional influential factor is that policy efforts often ignore or underestimate intercultural and region-specific requirements. Multilingual regions, such as South Tyrol or countries like Luxemburg or Switzerland, are exemplary in that they seem to have mastered the above named hurdles. Whether despite, or perhaps (even) because of political processes, questions of identity or cultural affiliation, as well as the role of regional and minority languages and their fixed position in social and academic life are once again very current. Ireland, Wales, the Basque region or Catalonia are pressing examples. A resulting question is not only which language a teacher should speak when working in a foreign country, but also which measures should be taken in order to prepare instructors and students for teaching and learning abroad.

It will also explore its deficits, by looking into the need for educational quality across the board, by analysing the links between the world-class concepts and the emergence of international league tables, national approaches to building excellence and, indeed, teaching. Once again, ACA has enlisted globally leading experts on the subject, to guarantee a high-quality event. No publisher bob seminar 2010-08-24T14:12:29Z Event http://www.iclhe.org/events/ict-for-language-learning-3rd-conference The objective of the conference is to promote the sharing of good practice and transnational cooperation in the field of the application of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to Language Learning and Teaching. The conference will also be an excellent opportunity for the presentation of previous and current language learning projects and innovative initiatives.

Understanding the structure, composition and use of the lexicon holds important keys to understanding many research fields and a wide range of human activities. No publisher editor conference 2010-11-02T22:23:04Z Event http://www.iclhe.org/events/colloquium-dynamic-language-and-content-collaboration-in-higher-education-theory-research-reflections This colloquium, a collaborative venture between Cape Peninsula Technical University, Cape Town, South Africa, and Chalmers University, Gothenburg, Sweden, is part of a South Africa/Sweden research cooperation programme entitled ‘Creating effective partnerships between content and language teachers to enhance higher education learning in multilingual contexts’. The colloquium focuses on four sub-themes: 1) theorising collaboration between language and content practitioners; 2) exploring research findings on ICL collaboration; 3) debating/discussing research methodologies for ICL research; and 4) reflecting on collaborative ICL practices.

Dans un contexte de mondialisation de l’économie, les entreprises sont devenues des systèmes hautement complexes. De plus en plus, les acteurs de ces organisations, surtout pour les plus grandes et les plus internationales d’entre elles, sont confrontés à la nécessité de situer leur propre action au sein de situations complexes et de donner du sens à celles-ci.
