11th EDILIC Conference

The 11th EDILIC Conference invites researchers, educators, and practitioners to submit original research papers, ideally combining a solid review of the literature with a sound analysis of case studies, intervention studies, or innovative teaching practices aligned with the conference themes and its sub-themes. Submissions should contribute to our understanding of how pluralistic approaches can enhance plurilingual literacy development and empower learners, teachers, and communities across various contexts.
