Call for papers: Bridging Voices in Plurilingual Education: Policies, Research and Practices

English version below

RAPPEL

Appel à communications pour le colloque international
Carrefours de voix en éducation plurilingue: politiques, recherches et pratiques
Rome (Italie), 23 au 24 octobre 2025

Le colloque vise une réflexion sur les pratiques éducatives plurilingues, les perceptions du plurilinguisme et de l’éducation plurilingue ainsi que le rôle du plurilinguisme dans les politiques éducatives. Une attention toute particulière sera accordée à la relation entre la recherche, les politiques et les pratiques. 

Le colloque entend donc aborder autant les politiques éducatives que les pratiques pédagogiques effectives et la formation du (futur) personnel enseignant. Il abordera également les enjeux théoriques et les controverses autour des concepts clés qui fondent l’éducation plurilingue (langue, plurilinguisme/multilinguisme, inter/transculturalité, translanguaging, etc.), les représentations des acteurs de cette éducation et le développement, la mise en œuvre et l’évaluation des approches didactiques.

Date-limite d’envoi des résumés: 05/01/2025
Plus d’information sur le site de l’événement.

Publication : une sélection de contributions sera publiée dans un volume soumis à une double évaluation par les pairs. Des informations complémentaires seront communiquées dans les semaines à venir.

Nous vous attendons nombreuses et nombreux!!! 

Le colloque est organisé par l’Università degli Studi Roma Tre et le projet PEP (Promouvoir l’éducation plurilingue, 2023-1-FR01-KA220-HED-000160820). Le projet est cofinancé par la Commission européenne (Agence nationale Erasmus+ France) dans le cadre du programme Erasmus+.

Call for papers
Bridging Voices in Plurilingual Education: Policies, Research and Practices
Rome (Italy), 23-24 October 2025

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.

Deadline for submission of abstracts : 05/01/2025
More information on the conference website.

Publication: Selected contributions will be included in a peer-reviewed volume. Additional information will be shared in the coming weeks. 

Looking forward to seeing you in Rome.

The conference is organised by Università degli Studi Roma Tre within the framework of the PEP project (Promoting plurilingual education, 2023-1-FR01-KA220-HED-000160820). The project is co-funded by the European Commission (National agency Erasmus+ France) in the Erasmus+ programme.
