The 11th EDILIC conference with the subjcet  "Plurilingual Literacies in Education: Pluralistic Approaches Inside and Beyond the Classroom" will be held in 2025 at the Faculty of Education in cooperation with the research center LiDS, organized by Prof. Dr. Silvia Melo-Pfeifer and Prof. Dr. Drorit Lengyel.

It takes place from 23. to 25.7.2025 in Von-Melle-Park 8 and Von-Melle-Park 6. 

Plurilingual literacy, as a concept generally underscoring the abilities of the plurilingual individual in handling discourses produced across diverse languages, modes and contexts, plays a pivotal role in fostering critical thinking, communication skills, and social participation and inclusion.

In this edition of the EDILIC conference, we approach plurilingual literacies from a double, interrelated perspective: on the one hand, plurilingual literacies might be conceived as a goal of education; on the other hand, they might be seen as an asset and a starting point to design pedagogical scenarios and learning paths.

The 11th EDILIC conference examines innovative approaches to plurilingual literacies that acknowledge and embrace the rich diversity of learners, teachers and educators, communities and contexts. It aims to explore diverse theoretical perspectives, methodologies, and practices in the field of plurilingual literacies in education. This encompasses traditional classroom settings as well as informal and non-formal educational environments.
