Linguistic Diversity, Education and Social Participation:

Asia-Pacific and European Perspectives

Virtual International Summer School 2024 

26 - 30 August 2024

This virtual summer school aims to familiarise participants with current research on language policies, ideologies and practices in linguistically diverse regions and institutions of Europe and Asia-Pacific. Linguistic diversity - referring to multiple languages, language varieties, modalities, and registers - is a feature of all contemporary differentiated societies around the globe, presenting both social barriers and enrichment. Through national, transnational and supranational cases, the programme addresses structures that deal with language diversity, from the family to education and the workplace. Participants can look forward to varied perspectives on language diversity (migrant, Indigenous, foreign) as well as theoretical and applied perspectives from the field. A key feature of the programme are the mutually enriching perspectives from renowned scholars with differing regional emphases.


The summer school is intended for all students interested in the fields of socio- and educational linguistics, multilingualism and second language acquisition. Mandatory course work consists of the completion of pre-assigned readings and active participation. It is further possible for participants to earn three credit points via the completion of a research task in respect of their lecture of choice. 


The online format is free of charge and enables participation from around the world. We look forward to welcoming many and diverse backgrounds to this virtual learning space!
