2ème appel à contributions
LIDIL numéro 66
“Le paramètre temporel dans le développement langagier : implications didactiques et pédagogiques”
Ce numéro entend recueillir des contributions prenant appui sur des données de terrain et débouchant sur des implications didactiques et pédagogiques concrètes à des fins d’enseignement et d’apprentissage des langues. Les auteur.e.s sont particulièrement encouragé.e.s à faire des recommandations d’ordre praxéologique sur des aspects didactiques (choix de contenus, organisation, déconstruction, présentation) ou pédagogiques (pratiques de médiation, attention aux dimensions intra- et inter-personnelles, ainsi qu’aux caractéristiques individuelles). De même, l’intérêt que nous prêtons au paramètre temporel nous incite à nous projeter dans l’avenir et à nous interroger quant à des pistes de travail ou des éléments tangibles à envisager pour structurer une feuille de route pour la didactique des langues et des cultures du futur.
Dates importantes :
05 juin 2021 : dernier délai pour la réception des propositions (3 pages).

Likewise, we also encourage prospective authors to suggest areas of future research and to address research openings which could help structure a roadmap for the coming years and highlight what language learning and teaching could look like in the future.
Key dates:
Deadline for submissions of abstracts (3 pages): 5th June 2021
Notification of acceptance or rejection of submissions: 15th July 2021

It has been an interesting and inspiring experience to work for LANGSCAPE. Thank you for all the motivating conversations, your insightful perspectives, and the opportunities to flourish!
With kind regards, and my very best wishes,

Dear LANGSCAPE members, colleagues, and friends,
This is a brief reminder that the ENROPE Project is still looking for participants for its Intensive Study Week #2 (ISW#2) in Paris from 29th June to 3rd July 2020. The deadline for applications is 6th March 2020.
Please pass this information on to postgraduate, early career and established researchers who study bi/multilingualism in educational contexts or related topics, or educational researchers whose work involves more than one language and/or multilingual data.
The focus of the ISW#2 will be on how languages influence parts of the research reports or theses (co-working, discuss your own work, develop professional competencies). For more information, please visit the ISW2 info and application form or see the information sheet embedded via the download button above. There are bursaries for students from partner universities.
ENROPE is an Erasmus+ project building a European Network for Junior Researchers in the Field of Plurilingualism and Education (2018-2021). As its centrepiece, it offers an Intensive Study Programme consisting of annual Intensive Study Weeks and interlinking Online Study Phases.

Dear LANGSCAPE members, colleagues, and friends,
Prof. Nadia Ben Elazmia from the University Moulay Ismail in Meknès, Marocco, has sent an announcement of an interdisciplinary colloquium on “La désuétude au carrefour des savoirs : De la langue à la culture” to the LANGSCAPE office. Of course, we gladly share it with you.
The colloquium will take place from 29th to 30th October 2020 and will focus on the processes leading to the disuse of words, expressions, and cultural pracitices rendering them obsolete in definite linguistic groups. Researchers from various disciplines are welcome to examine these phenomena along three strands: A) lexical, B) cultural and C) formal. Strand B (Axe culturelle) has as one of its potential focal areas the discontinuation of educational pracites and teaching methods (“la désuétude des méthodes pédagogiques et de l’enseignement”).
The deadline for the submission of abstracts is 30th April 2020.
For more information, please download or view the information sheet in French language via the link below.
Kind regards,
