Merhaba Mediha,
İki dillilikle ilgili çalışmaların olduğunu hatırlıyorum. Bu
konferanın ilgini çekebileceğini, belki de bildiriyle katılmayı
isteyebileceğini düşündüm. Bir şeyler göndermemyi düşünürsen dil
konusunda sana yardımcı olmaya çalışırım.

Hoşça kal,
Özkan

Dear colleagues,
The Pontifical University of Sao Paulo, The University of Mogi das
Cruzes-Lapa and the Research Program Language in Activities in School
Contexts (LACE) kindly invite researches and practitioners who focus
on bilingualism, bilingual education, teacher education and
citizenship in Latin America or the rest of the world to submit
abstracts to the international conference:
Third Symposium on Bilingualism, Bilingual Education and Citizenship
in Latin America
July 8-10, 2009, São Paulo, Brazil
General Information
The symposium on "Bilingualism, Bilingual Education and Citizenship in
Latin America" will take place in São Paulo, Brazil on July 8,9,10,
2009 at PUC–SP (Catholic University of São Paulo) and UMC – Lapa (The
University of Mogi das Cruzes – Lapa). This event includes, for the
first time, a pre-conference winter school on the main issues of the
conference.
The 1st BILINGLATAM Pre-conference winter school will take place on
08 July 2009 and will offer courses for graduate and undergraduate
students and masters and doctors in the various fields of
Bilingualism, Bilingual Education, Bilingual Teacher Education and
Citizenship Education. Students all over the world are encouraged to
participate and contribute to the high quality interdisciplinary
teaching of the School.

General Information
This symposium, in similar fashion to BILINGLATAM I and II, which took
place in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2004 and in Bogotá, Colombia, in
2006, aims at promoting an exchange of knowledge in the fields of
research and teaching on bilingualism and bilingual education among
those who work in majority and minority language contexts in Latin
America.
The Organising Committee invites proposals for presentations on any
aspect of the central themes, which are:
· Bilingualism
· Bilingual Education
· Bilingual Teacher Education
· Citizenship Education

There will be three modalities of presentation:
• Keynote sessions (with invited keynote speakers)
• Oral papers (Maximum time, 30 minutes)
• Poster presentation sessions (15 minutes)

English, Portuguese, LIBRAS (Brazilian Sign Language) and Spanish are
the official languages of the Symposium.

Call for Papers
The Bilinglatam symposia series aim at promoting an exchange of
knowledge in the fields of research and teaching on bilingualism,
bilingual education, bilingual teacher education and citizenship
education among those who work in majority and minority language
contexts in Latin America. The past two symposia (Buenos Aires, 2004
and Bogotá, 2006) were concerned to consolidate work carried out in
bilingualism in Latin America in relation to policy, pedagogical
practices, and teacher education. Thus, the symposia invited
prominent researchers involved with these issues in their research to
participate in these events and to inform the debate, taking into
account perspectives that will enrich the discussion.
The third symposium will address bilingualism, bilingual education and
bilingual teacher education, linking these concepts with the notion of
citizenship. Due to our preoccupation in expanding the scenario to
deprived communities, we plan to attend the issue related to
prestigious and minorities' bilingualism, focusing interdependence as
a single goal. The themes of the Symposia are at the core of our
responsibility towards a greater community of life and future
generations (La Carta de la Tierra en Acción, UNICEF, 2008),
emphasizing the condition for access to different cultures, closer
forms of coexistence, and the possibility of access to cultural
capital.
We feel that an exchange of knowledge and experience between research
communities in Latin America will help in the understanding of common
issues in an attempt to transform the socio-culturally unbalanced
situation in which the Latin American communities live.
The symposium will welcome researchers from various fields of
education and applied linguistics, including undergraduate students,
masters and doctors from the participant institutions. We feel that
this is a great opportunity to improve connections between Latin
American researchers, through generating discussion and debate on
issues arising from the relations between bilingualism, bilingual
education and identity, bilingualism, bilingual education and
intercultural relations, and bilingualism, bilingual education and
citizenship.
The Organising Committee invites proposals for presentations on any
aspect of the main themes of the conference. We encourage researchers
from all over the world to join the discussion as well, in order to
enrich the work that has been done in our community.
Submit a summary of your paper or poster in approximately 200 words
and an abstract of no more than 500 words. The abstract should include
enough detail to allow reviewers to judge the scientific merits of the
proposal. Abstracts will be reviewed by members of the Academic
Committee. Oral papers and poster presentations will be allotted 30
minutes, allowing 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for
questions. The official languages of the symposium are English,
Portuguese, LIBRAS and Spanish.
Please complete and submit the presenter's and abstract forms found in
the following website: www.fernandaliberali.com.br/bilinglatam or
contact us at the following address: bilinglatamIII@yahoo.com.br

Deadline for submission of proposals: November 30th, 2008.
You will receive notification of acceptance no later than February
15th, 2009. If your proposal is accepted, you may send the full
version of your paper before March 12th, 2009. Accepted papers will be
included in the Proceedings of the Third International Symposium on
Bilingualism, Bilingual Education, Bilingual Teacher Education and
Citizenship Education in Latin America, to be distributed on CD-ROM to
conference participants at the end of the event. All registered
attendees will receive a copy of the proceedings.
