Dear colleagues,
The Third International Conference on Bilingual Education arises as the continuation of the first two editions, held at the University of Córdoba in November 2015 and 2016. The previous editions were successful as they had a remarkable level of participation due to the quality of the interventions, the organizations and entities that participated in the sessions, and the attendees. All of them contributed to making the Conferences a forum to discuss and reflect on teaching practices in bilingual contexts at all educational levels: early childhood, primary, secondary and higher education.
This third edition, again, has a plural and innovative program with numerous international researchers, among which it must be highlighted the Plenary Speakers: Do Coyle, Richard Johnstone, Teresa Ting, M.ª Luisa Pérez Cañado & José Luis Ortega, and Mark Griffiths. The four days of the Conference will create an ideal space for the dissemination of results and the proposal of new ideas on teaching practice through workshops.
In our webpage you can find precise information on the Conference; however, we include here some relevant data:
Dates: 7-10 November 2017.
Modalities: symposia, oral communications, and on-line communications.
Submission of Symposia: 30 June 2017 (acceptance: 15 July 2017).
Submission of Abstracts of oral and on-line communications: 15 September 2017 (acceptance: 30 September 2017).
