Call for Proposals

  • Conference Theme and Sub-themes

  • a. Role of EAC/WAC/CLIL in learning and teaching
  • An emphasis is placed on the role of these approaches as a high-impact practice, on its role in enhancing student learning and success, and on improving how instructors can use and foster critical and creative thinking through writing and speaking.
  • b. Pedagogy and practices
  • A highlight is put on the wide range of instructional practices that use writing and speaking to support learning and critical thinking in various disciplines across the curriculum, in first- and second-language contexts, and in all levels of mainstream education.
  • c. Programme design, collaboration and assessment
  • The focus can be placed on the choices for course design and assessment, on challenges in collaboration with discipline teachers, and supporting students. Regional and global perspectives are valued.
