Bilingüismo y educación bilingüe: Aproximaciones sociolingüísticas

With a view to gaining an insight into the various concepts that intersect with bilingualism, we decided to organise a series of biennial international conferences which would enable researchers to present ground-breaking research and eventually cause positive changes in academia and society at large.

While the first edition (2018) dealt with the challenges, limits and solutions involved when considering bilingualism and interculturality, and the second edition (2020) addressed the relationship between bilingualism and migration, this third conference will concentrate on the confluence of bilingualism and bilingual education with their immediate and extended social contexts.

Bilingualism and Bilingual Education are more than ever present in our society due to an increase in the sensitization of society towards the advantages of developing competences in more than one language. On many other occasions, the adoption of bilingualism and bilingual education in a particular social context may just respond to the fact that bilingualism and multilingualism have become the norm in today’s globalised world.

Goals

This international conference thus aims to provide a platform for researchers interested in discussing bilingualism and bilingual education against the backdrop of sociolinguistics. We welcome proposals that deal with bilingualism (involving English and/or Spanish) and are related, but not exclusively, to the following topics:
 

• the sociolinguistics of learning a foreign language
• the interface between learning a language and learning the culture
• attitudes towards bilingualism and foreign language learning
• heritage languages
• linguistic choices and migration
• bilingual education in monolingual and bilingual contexts
• family bilingualism
• bilingualism in migrant families
• the effects of new technologies on bilingualism and bilingual education in relation to the context
• language planning
• language variation and language learning
• bilingualism and demographics
• policies towards bilingualism and bilingual education
• English as a lingua franca
• interculturality
