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 (30 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.
