MOBILLE 2019

Dear Colleagues,

Hosted by the iconic Lycée Français de New York, MOBILLE is a new international conference that gathers scholars and practitioners from all over the world in a forum about the impact of new technologies on learning and teaching of languages.

MOBILLE stands for Mobile Language Learning Experience. Language learning occurs in various environments, in dedicated regular classes as well as in those integrating language and subject matter. Whatever the setting, this conference will focus on how technology—ubiquitous, pervasive and forever changing, shapes the experiences of learners, as well as teachers in primary school, secondary school and beyond. What is mobile is not just the technology, but ultimately the language learning itself.

MOBILLE topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

• MOBILITY IN LANGUAGE LEARNING
  • Second Language Acquisition (SLA)
  • Language for Specific Purposes (LSP)
  • Bilingualism/Multilingualism
