Linguistic transitions: towards languages for life

10 & 11 January 2019, King’s College London, Strand Campus

This conference focuses on research-informed approaches to the practical aspects of learning and teaching modern languages and cultures. It targets transitions—those spaces of learning between stages that may be seen as a barrier rather than a stepping stone for language learners. It also seeks to shine a light on the methodologies which are able to empower students of all ages to use their innate language-learning skills, including the mobilisation of their bi- and multi-lingual home experiences.
