For this tenth iteration of CLaSIC, we are pleased to announce an exceptional lineup of keynote speakers:

Andy KIRKPATRICK (Grifflth University, Australia)
Dorothy M CHUN (UC, Santa Barbara, USA)
Sarah MERCER (University of Graz, Austria)

2. Innovative instructional Approaches, Curriculum and Material Development lmpact of 21st-century skills, community-based, situated, and project-based learning, material design
3. Cultural and Language Diversity, and Literacies
Teaching and mastering languages in diverse cultural and linguistic landscapes 4. Language Assessment, Evaluation, and Feedback Assessment methodologies, their validity and reliability, and broader implications
5. Learner Diversity and Challenges in Language Education lnclusivity strategies, diversity issues in language instruction
6. Teacher Education and Professional Development
Contemporary practices, evolving roles. and responsibilities of language educators
7. Research Methodologies and Approaches
Methodologies shaping academic research in language education
8. Other Emergent Themes in Language Education
Other topics shaped by past experiences, current disruptions, and future expectations in pedagogy

Presentations proposed for CLaSIC 2024 may share insights, experiences, and perspectives on current and forthcoming developments in language pedagogy and related topics, challenge the boundaries of traditional language teaching, or explore new horizons in methodologies and pedagogy, v.,ith the aim of achieving a more innovative, effective, or inclusive language education.

To be successful at school and in the global workforce, students must acquire 21st skills, but as teachers, we are not always able to provide sufficient opportunities. By connecting classrooms across the world for project-based inquiry on STEM and STEAM topics, Level Up Village’s global, virtual exchanges foster the 21st century skills of creativity, communication, collaboration, critical-thinking, and problem-solving. Students aged 4-18 work cooperatively to explore essential content including art, literature, music, science, and social studies, while gaining core 21st century skills along with intercultural communication and digital literacy.

The Conference brings together teachers, researchers, practitioners and project managers from all over the world to share findings, expertise and experience about innovative science education methodologies.
Three days of inspiring sessions in the framework of a highly interactive onsite and online Conference experience. There will be five presentation modalities: Oral (onsite/online), Poster (onsite/online), Asynchronous (online).
All accepted papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings with ISBN, ISSN and DOI codes. The publication will be included in Academia and indexed in Google Scholar. The Proceedings will be sent to be reviewed for inclusion in Web of Science and SCOPUS.

The XIth EDILIC conference examines innovative approaches to plurilingual literacy, recognizing and embracing the rich diversity of learners, teachers and educators, as well as non-formal and informal communities and contexts. It aims to explore diverse theoretical, methodological and practical perspectives on plurilingual literacy in education, encompassing both traditional classrooms and wider societal contexts.

The conference aims to reflect on plurilingual educational practices, perceptions of plurilingualism and plurilingual education, and the role of plurilingualism in educational policies. Particular attention will be paid to the relationship between research, policies and practices.

The colloquium therefore intends to address educational policies as much as actual classroom practices and the training of (future) teaching staff. It is also interested in the theoretical issues and controversies surrounding the key concepts on which plurilingual education is based (language, plurilingualism/multilingualism, inter/transculturalism, translanguaging, etc.), the representations of those involved in this form of education, and the development, implementation, and evaluation of existing and emerging didactic approaches.
