Towards a plurilingual curriculum: fostering pluricultural communication in the digital age
This international conference is part of a multidisciplinary approach to languages and cultures in applied linguistics (didactique des langues), drawing in particular on language sciences, sociolinguistics, education sciences, political sciences and info-com.
Taking place from 28th to 30th November 2024 in Bordeaux, participants are invited to (re)think about language teaching/learning, whether formal or informal, as an objective of intercultural communication. The plurilingual and pluricultural perspective calls for a fundamental reconsideration of the language and culture curriculum. In a changing world where vital challenges such as climate change, social and cultural inequalities, the digitisation of societies and their democratic challenges need to be addressed, we need to consider a radical change in the way we think about language education.
