Language and Society Conference on Bilingualism and Interculturality 
UNED: Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia 
November 29-30, 2018
Madrid, Spain

This conference attempts not only to analyze more deeply what we know about bilingualism and interculturality but also to stimulate alternatives to the well-documented weaknesses of bilingual education, which have so far been identified more often by the press than by academia. This conference will focus on the lack of development in oral communicative skills and the significance of teaching specialized and technical vocabulary in secondary education which, while useful for dealing with academic subjects, has little impact on general oral communication. The conference will also discuss the danger of not attaining adequate communicative skills in the first language, the absence of intercultural contents or aims, the inadequacy of teaching resources, etc. 

The deadline for submission is July 11, 2018.
