    International Conference

    Bilingualism and interculturality: challenges, limits and solutions.


    CALL FOR PAPERS

    Dpto. Filologías Extranjeras y sus Lingüísticas


    UNED: Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia
    Madrid, Spain.

    November 29th - 30th, 2018

    Conference website: www.biuned.weebly.com

    Over the last decade an array of bilingual programmes has been implemented in Spain and other
    European countries, each of them with different approaches and in different contexts. At the
    same time a number of conferences and research seminars have analysed the advances in and
    advantages of bilingual education regardless of cost. Despite the foregoing, few critical
    voices have been raised in academic contexts to analyse the real impact of bilingualism in
    schools and its repercussions for student and teacher needs as well as the school management
    challenge it creates. There is also a lack of correlation between what families know about
    bilingualism, what they think about bilingual education, and what they expect from bilingual
    programs.
    This conference attempts not only to analyse 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.
    This conference sets out to be a forum for a critical analysis and discussion of the
    aforementioned weaknesses and seeks to provide alternatives which will help solve these and
    other problems.
    Proposals related to English-Spanish or Spanish-English bilingual institutions will be
    given preference, but proposals based on other language combinations, including either English
    or Spanish in them, will also be welcome. Nevertheless, proposals must be related to the main
    theme to be accepted.

    Plenary speakers:
    Professor Tony Liddicoat (University of Warwick)
    Professor Pádraig Ó Duibhir (Dublin City University)
    Professor Li Wei (University College London)
