The conference aims to reflect on plurilingual educational practices, perceptions of plurilingualism and plurilingual education, and the role of plurilingualism in educational policies. Particular attention will be paid to the relationship between research, policies and practices. The colloquium therefore intends to address educational policies as much as actual classroom practices and the training of (future) teaching staff. It is also interested in the theoretical issues and controversies surrounding the key concepts on which plurilingual education is based (language, plurilingualism/multilingualism, inter/transculturalism, translanguaging, etc.), the representations of those involved in this form of education, and the development, implementation and evaluation of existing and emerging didactic approaches.
Submission instructions:
Proposals for papers may take the form of theoretical reflections based on existing work, presentations of scientific studies or reflective reports of experience supported by empirical data.
Proposals must include:
- a title;
- a summary of no more than 300 words;
- a maximum of five bibliographical references;
- mention of the corresponding theme or themes (linguistic policies, scientific directions, plurilingual teaching practices, plurilingual assessment).
Proposals may be submitted in the authors’ preferred language. This language will also be the language of presentation. If this language is not a Romance language, English, Greek or German (languages of the PEP project), a translation of the title and abstract in one of these languages must be provided.
Proposals must be anonymous. Authors must therefore ensure that they do not appear in the proposal or can be identified by the name of a project.

Abstract review period: Jan. 20, 2025 - Feb. 24, 2025
