Multilingualism
is a highly complex phenomenon, which has a direct influence on how we learn languages.
Do
we learn a second/foreign language in a similar way in a multilingual context
as in a monolingual one? What is the role of the other languages spoken in the
community? Do contrasting learning contexts, like CLIL or studying abroad,
produce different results?
In
this process, it is also important to consider the role of emotions in foreign
language acquisition. Can positive emotions such as foreign language enjoyment have
an active role in the foreign language learning process?
These
and other topics will be discussed in this symposium, with the aim of
understanding multilingualism, how languages are learned and how to teach them
better.
For primary and
secondary school teachers, lecturers, university students and researchers. It
will be held entirely in English, but it intends to cater for all those
interested in multilingualism, L2 or foreign language acquisition, as the
issues dealt with should be applicable to any L2.
