7th AICLU conference on
multilingualism, CLIL and innovation in language teaching7 to 9 July 2011
Free University of Bolzano
Faculty of Education, Bressanone/Brixen  

The 7th AICLU conference from 7 to 9 July 2011 will be organized by the Language Centre of the Free University of Bolzano at the premises of the Faculty.
 
The decision to organize such a conference in South-Tyrol was made plausible because of the historic, demographic and ethnic background and the somewhat natural vocation towards multilingualism of this province.  

The Free University of Bolzano with its ambitious trilingual approach (English, German and Italian are the languages of tuition) contributes strongly to the discussion on multilingualism. The conference will offer various occasions to get to know the organizing university and to exchange ideas on topics such as CLIL and innovation in language teaching in Italian universities.  

Besides the three key-note-speeches there will be parallel sessions in the following thematic areas
 

• Language policy, multilingualism and internationalisation in higher education
• CLIL
• Language testing and assessment
• Italian as L2
• New tendencies and new technologies in language teaching  

The languages of the presentations and the conference will be: English, German, Italian, Spanish and French
