17-18 February, 2016. Multilingual CALL: Multilingual Language Learning with Digital Media in Primary and Secondary Classrooms, Goethe University, Frankfurt. Convenor: Prof. Daniela Elsner.
Both computer-assisted language learning (CALL) and the role of multilingualism and multilingual language practices for language learning are timely topics on their own. In combination, they might be even more interesting, as attested by the “Multilingual CALL: Multilingual Language Learning with Digital Media in Primary and Secondary Classrooms” event on February 17-18 2016 at Frankfurt University.
More than forty researchers and practitioners from several continents, plus over thirty students from Frankfurt University, came together to discuss language learning through digital media in the context of multilingualism and multilingual practices. The event was organized as dissemination event for the MElang-E project, but also included presentations on a wide range of topically related projects and theoretical work done in this area.

28-30 April 2016. International Conference for Child Foreign Language Learning. Between theory and practice. Pedagogical University, Krakow, Poland. Convenor: Prof. Joanna Rokita- Jáskow. This three-day conference brought together 92 language specialists from ca. 10 different countries, including Norway, Sweden, Turkey, France, Spain, Serbia, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Ukraine and Poland. The event was inspired by the introduction of obligatory foreign language learning to pre-primary level in Poland from 1 Sept. 2015, thus following European policy guidelines in respect of ‘an early start’ in a foreign language. It provided a forum for the exchange of research and ideas in this expanding area of foreign/second language learning, focusing not only on learning English as a lingua franca, but also including research in the field of minority languages.
