Title: Call for Papers: First World Conference on Technology, Education and Multilinguism
Body:
From http://en.teclin17.org/TECLIN-17_a7.html
The First World Conference on Technology, Education and Multilinguism (TECLIN17) will be held from 4th to 8th December 2017 in Buenos Aires.
The main objective of TECLIN17 is to debate and propose guidelines for the development of plurilingual societies with either minorized, minorities or under-resourced languages and their support from the sociolinguistic, legal, technological and pedagogical/educational dimensions. Social welfare must integrate the linguistic dimension and it cannot be achieved without the enhancement of so-called minorized languages, like local, regional, indigenous, and languages of the immigration which constitute the mother tongue of many speakers. Societies cannot achieve social welfare without fully articulating their linguistic rights. Technology, legal and educational frameworks constitute tools for the consecution of a plurilingual society.
The thematic organization of the congress revolves around three pillars: multilingualism, technology and education. These three areas will be treated separately, hence defining their own tracks at the conference. Authors can submit to one or various tracks and will be evaluated by different program committees.
Paper Submission Deadline: July 15, 2017

Title: Haitian Creole: How Discrimination Nearly Stalled a Dual-Language Program in Boston

How Discrimination Nearly Stalled a Dual-Language Program in Boston
After years of advocacy, the city’s first Haitian Creole–English school opens in the fall.
by Tara García Mathewson
April 7, 2017
Dual-language programs have been growing in popularity nationally for several years now, spurred on by demand among native speakers of common languages as well as monolingual English speakers who want all the benefits that come from bilingualism.
In Boston, however, it has taken a long time to get enough people—and the right people—to agree Haitian Creole deserved to join Spanish in the public schools’ dual-language program. And it wasn’t only district administrators who had to be convinced. The Haitian community wasn’t entirely on board, either.
