Sociolinguistics Symposium 2022: Colloquium "Researching teacher attitudes and beliefs on multilingualism: A transnational comparative approach"

In this colloquium, we present a transnational comparative study on the attitudes and beliefs on multilingualism of primary-school teachers. Interview data were collected in eight countries (France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and the UK) spanning a wide range of societal and ideological circumstances. Using the same data collection instruments, based on one joint interview protocol, we created comparable data sets.

AAAL 2002 Colloquium: Teacher Talk about Parents and Multilingualism. Attitudes and beliefs across countries

Since teachers form the essential link between top-down policies and bottom-up practices, their attitudes on multilingualism in general and on parental involvement in particular are critical to achieving positive education outcomes for multilingual students. Yet, there is an extensive gap in studies that generate comparable cross-country data that may facilitate our understanding of the potential impact of societal perceptions.

AILA Symposium: Perspectives on language(s) in education: A comparative overview

This open symposium will discuss key educational perspectives and practices in relation to linguistic diversity across countries and communities. We are interested in how societal groups perceive, react to, and manage linguistic diversity, and how this is reflected in formal and informal educational programs and initiatives. The focus of this symposium lies on trans- and intranational comparisons, in an attempt to extend beyond the traditionally nationally oriented research on multilingualism in education, while acknowledging the different linguistic ecologies within nations as well.

ReN AILA Symposium: Rethinking language policy: the importance of the home in language maintenance and development

This symposium, organized by the AILA Research Network on Social and Affective Factors in Home Language Maintenance and Development (HOLM ReN), will focus on language policy. While language policies are established and applied at all levels of society, we will pay particular attention to the home as a site where language policies are negotiated and contested, as families are the principal language managers and ultimately responsible for intergenerational language transmission or shift.
