New Speakers in the City

The conference Language, Identity and Education in Multilingual Contexts took place at The Hague University of Applied Sciences on 20-21 February 2020. This conference was the third edition of the LIEMC (the first was held in Dublin in 2018 and the second in York in 2019), organized jointly by the Hague University of Applied Sciences, The Dutch Language Union – Taalunie and MultiLingNet. It was a relatively small event with three parallel sessions over two days and four keynote lectures given by: Xiao Lan Curdt-Christiansen on Family Language Policy: Does it Matter?, Tommaso M. Milani on Second Language Acquisition, Education and Social (In)Justice in a Multilingual Context, Roy Lyster on Research Perspectives on Integrating Language and Content, and Jos Beelen on From Mobility of the Few to Curriculum for All: Dutch Internationalization Anno 2020. With such a small crowd, everyone had the chance to talk to almost everyone else during coffee breaks, lunches and the conference
