Linguistic Competences in Education and at Work
February 4-6, 2010
Zurich, Switzerland

Over the last few years, the notion of language competence has been reexamined and redefined under the influence of research in sociolinguistics, language education, and, more largely, research on language use in various settings.

Drawing on this interest in the notion of language competences in education and in the workplace, the conference aims to stimulate reflection and debate on the multiple transitions and transformations at play: transitions from orality to literacy (for example, the increasing role of writing in the workplace), transitions from one register to another (from standard to non-standard, etc.), from monolingual practices to multilingualism, from theory to practice, from face-to-face exchanges to virtual interactions, from the conceptualization of the notion of competence to how it pans out in actual situations, etc.

Call Deadline: 31-Aug-2009
