Welcome

Dear colleagues

The IAIMTE 2015 organizing team welcomes colleagues from all over the world to the 10th IAIMTE conference June 3-5 at University of Southern Denmark in Odense, Denmark.

We are proud to announce a programme holding prominent keynote speakers and a rich array of symposia and papers exploring the whole range of the L1 research field. The programme truly addresses LANGUAGES, LITERATURES, and LITERACIES.

The IAIMTE/ARLE Special Interest Group coordinators have organized invited symposia on specific themes and in some cases even further paper sessions within these themes.

The SIGs are the backbone of the organization and we encourage delegates to participate in the SIG meetings Friday morning to discuss and plan future SIG activities such as publication, SIG seminars, and symposia at ARLE 2017.

In more than one way, IAIMTE 2015 is a special occasion. We celebrate the 10th anniversary of the IAIMTE research network and conferences. We further celebrate the formal establishment of the organization under the new name, ARLE, The international Association for Research in L1 Education (languages, literatures, literacies). Professor Irene Pieper, chair of ARLE, has issued a call for the first ARLE General Members’ Meeting Wednesday, June 3, 17.45. After the meeting, we shall celebrate more informally at the welcome reception.

Sharing and discussing research are key aims of IAIMTE/ARLE conferences. Keynote lectures, symposia and paper presentations establish the formal structures for these aims. Conferences are, however, also social and cultural events. Coffees and lunches are informal spaces for networking and social contact.

Further, the IAIMTE 2015 programme also offers opportunities for cultural entertainment, pleasure and social mingle. This includes welcome and farewell receptions as well as the Thursday excursion to Faaborg and the conference dinner at Egeskov Castle. Naturally, delegate companions are welcome to participate in these events. Further, as a special offer to companions, associate professor Mogens Davidsen, University of Southern Denmark, provides open seminars on Danish culture and identity Wednesday and Friday. Delegates are welcome to join the seminars. Please note that formal enrolment is required.

On behalf of the organizing team,

Ellen Krogh, conference chair


Acknowledgements

We are grateful for a generous grant from the Carlsberg Foundation which made it possible to support delegates with particularly high travel costs. We also thank the University of Southern Denmark for accommodating the conference.

The IAIMTE 2015 Scientific Committee and 31 reviewers have provided the invisible investment of time and effort that secures the quality of the conference programme. Thank you very much.

We further thank the steering group of DaDi, The Danish network of L1 researchers, who offered important support particularly in the planning phase of the conference organization.

Last, but most certainly not least, we thank Professor Gert Rijlaarsdam, the founder and grey eminence of IAIMTE/ARLE, for his never failing support in large as well as small matters. Wondering whether Gert ever sleeps, we have immensely enjoyed and appreciated his patient, supportive, and humorous presence on the mail and on the phone.

About IAIMTE 2015

Conference theme

The conference theme is Languages, literatures, and literacies in L1 research and education.

The conference addresses issues of homogeneity and heterogeneity in L1 research and education. L1 has a strong presence in educational systems across the world, but in a world of globalized economy and communication, L1 subjects face issues of identity calling for different local solutions. Language and literature constitute a historically basic dyad in national L1 subjects, but the homogeneous dyad may no longer capture the global picture of L1. Digital communication media have changed patterns of communication as well as notions of ‘language’ and ‘literature’, ethnic and linguistic diversity in the classrooms is expanding due to migration, and issues of global competition lead to a growing political interest in the literacies of reading, writing and textual competence. What are the implications for L1 practice and research? IAIMTE 2015 aims at illuminating these issues through addressing L1 research and education in the plural forms of languages, literatures, and literacies.

Keynotes

Three internationally renowned researchers will present keynote talks framing the conference theme:

· Professor emerita Deborah Brandt, University of Madison Wisconsin, USA

· Profesor Titular / tenured lecturer Daniel Cassany, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain

· Professor emeritus Jon Smidt, Sør Trøndelag University College, Trondheim, Norway


Keynote day 1, June 3, 9.45 – 10.45

Professor Deborah Brandt, University of Wisconsin-Madison

The Texture of Learning to Write in the Twenty-First Century

This presentation focuses on the escalating demands that are being put on people’s writing skills as nations compete with each other in a global knowledge economy. As writing becomes a dominant form of labour in many developed societies, it begins to change relationships between reading and writing in people’s daily lives and changes the way people think about and value literacy. How does a societal shift in time and energy toward writing affect the ways that adults and children develop their literacy and understand its worth? How does the ascendancy of a writing-based literacy create tensions in institutions (like schools) that have been organized around a reading-based literacy? What are the implications for teachers and students?

Keynote day 2, June 4, 13.45 – 14.45

Profesor titular/tenured lecturer, PhD, Daniel Cassany, Pompeu Fabra University

L1 reading and writing in a multilingual and technological context in secondary education

How do secondary education students use digital and multilingual resources on a daily basis through formal and informal learning practices in the cases of Catalan and Spanish as L1? What do they do with ICT in and out of the classroom and how do these practices impact L1 development? What are the empirical findings in the local context of Catalonia, and how do they relate to findings in the broader Spanish and International contexts?
