Who needs languages?
Micro and macro perspectives into language education policies
The conference is hosted by the Centre for Applied Language Studies, Department of Languages and the Language Centre at the University of Jyväskylä. The conference offers fresh outlooks on language education policy, acknowledging its multidisciplinary and multidimensional nature, and its social, cultural and economic dimensions. Where and by whom are language education policy decisions made, explicitly and/or implicitly? How do educational systems respond to challenges of multilingual societies? Critical views will be presented in order to understand the current developments and challenges of language education from both micro and macro perspectives. The conference is simultaneously the 28th International Summer School for Applied Language Studies at the University of Jyväskylä.
The keynote speakers are Joseph LoBianco (University of Melbourne, Australia), Clara Keating (Centro de Estudos Sociais, Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal), and Sue Wright (University of Portsmouth, England). In addition, workshops will be organized by invited speakers.
