| Title | Conference: Language Learning and Teaching in Multilingual and Multicultural Contexts |
| Body | From http://linguistlist.org/issues/18/18-486.html A one–day, international, English-French bilingual conference entitled 'Language Learning and Teaching in Multilingual and Multicultural Contexts' will be held October 6, 2007 at the American University of Paris (AUP) in Paris, France. AUP, with a student body that represents approximately one hundred nationalities and a vast array of first, second, and third languages, will serve as a natural meeting place for individuals interested in research on second language acquisition and pedagogy in linguistically diverse settings. Whether "natural" or "institutional", such settings provide both a challenge and an opportunity for scholars and practitioners alike. The challenge lies in understanding the processes involved in how adults learn a non-native language in such a linguistically diverse environment and in identifying how to more efficiently and effectively teach our students a non-native language given the variety of languages and cultures involved. The opportunity lies in the growing awareness of and interest in our world's multilingual and multicultural landscapes. The goal of this conference is to discuss and build upon current research conducted in these areas. For more information, go to http://linguistlist.org/issues/18/18-486.html . |
