The aim of this seminar is to promote a dialogue between two research areas addressing educational multilingualism, i.e. CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) and community language teaching. By bringing together these two strands of research this seminar hopes to explore common ground and foster methodological and theoretical synergies.
We invite abstracts which present innovative research in areas related to the conference theme. We especially welcome contributions which explore ways of linking school and community-based language learning.
We hope to create an atmosphere of stimulating discussion and debate in a convivial, intellectual environment. We aim to design a programme that will include a variety of formats encouraging exchange and discussion. We will suggest formats to individual presenters on abstract acceptance.
Deadline for Abstracts: 18 MARCH 2011
Please send your name, affiliation, title plus an abstract of 300 words (including references and five keywords) to J.Huettner@soton.ac.uk
Authors of accepted abstracts will be notified by mid-April. A registration form can be obtained from J.Huettner@soton.ac.uk or G.Budach@soton.ac.uk after 15 April 2011. The full seminar fee is £60; the reduced fee for students is £25. We offer suggestions for accomodation.
