XXIII Seminar on Languages and Education Meeting of the thematic network "Language Learning and Teacher Training in Multicultural and Multilingual Situations" Language teaching in diversity and for diversityBarcelona (Spain), 30, 31 May and 1 June 2002
With the establishment of the European Union, the growth of immigration and the need to promote the languages of stateless communities, we are obliged to approach the language learning of the future from a new multilingual perspective which constitutes a radical departure from traditional models. Increasingly, communities in our countries are formed by speakers of different languages; more than ever, individuals find themselves obliged to learn and use languages other than the ones they and their families speak. If our aim is to make Europe an internally cohesive unit, we need to find mechanisms that allow a deeper knowledge of the languages spoken by its inhabitants. The situation that confronts us today cannot be approached from the conventional methodological perspectives of maternal or first language and foreign or second languages. We must develop innovative educational projects that take account of Europe's linguistic diversity - and, above all, use it to good effect - in both formal and non-formal education. From this general perspective, the Seminar sets out to stimulate critical reflection and to offer proposals for action that will help us to advance towards our goal: achieving real multilingual education in the countries of Europe. This conference will host two events whose objectives largely coincide. On the one hand, the Languages and Education Seminar, organized by the ICE (the Institute of Education Sciences) at the University of Barcelona, in conjunction with the ICE at the University of Girona, with a long tradition in studies of the planning of teaching in bilingual and multilingual contexts, and, on the other, the meeting of the "Language Learning and Teacher Training in Multicultural and Multilingual Situations", thematic network which brings together 18 research groups from 14 different universities, headed by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. For the first time, these groups are facing the challenge of finding common ground between their respective projects and of making them known to teachers and researchers in the field.
