Plenary talks related to the abovementioned topics will be given by internationally renowned scholars in the area of study abroad research: Topics of interest here might include third language and culture learning in second language contexts, access to linguistic, cultural, and educational resources, and the explicit or tacit association of foreign language study abroad with both institutional and national development and immigration policies. The fifth inquires after trends, opportunities, and challenges in the mobility of students from or to Asia as well as in the under-researched area of between Asian countries. The fourth raises the issue of the perceived hierarchy of forms of French in study abroad choices, the cultural status of France in international French language education, and the specificity of Quebec, other French-speaking parts of Canada, and la francophonie. Here the focus is on how or whether participants maintain linguistic gains, different cultural and intercultural perspectives, and new subjectivities. The third explores the afterlife of cultural, intercultural, and language learning on study abroad programming, when participants return to their domestic universities or workplaces. Also of interest is the explicit or implicit relation between culture and linguistic development. The second attends to student, teacher, and host perceptions of material or behavioural culture-to-be-learned as well as to pedagogy, curriculum / curricula, and extra-curricular activities that lead to cultural and intercultural learning. It examines and explores how such groups and contexts emerge, function, and impact personal, linguistic, and intercultural development. The first question focuses on aspects of community, individual and group behaviour, social networks, identity, values, and foundations, but also home/foreign culture, cultural translation, and generational, professional, social-economic, institutional, and classroom cultures (students, digital natives, instructors, host families, the host public, etc.). What are the cultural interests and concerns of language students moving from, to, and within Asia? What are the cultural implications of French exchanges in or from Canada?ĥ. What is done with culture after studying abroad?Ĥ. What is cultural learning on study abroad and its relationship to language acquisition?ģ. What is the culture of study abroad and study abroad participants / stakeholders (teachers, hosts, organizers, etc.)?Ģ. Here, "culture" is understood as bearing a range of meanings from the language, customs, institutions, attitudes, and behaviours of a particular social group or group within a group, to the material products of the acts of imagination and human creativity such as literature, music, painting, film, and popular culture, to the appreciation and consumption of these forms either in formal educational practice or through personal inquiry and aspiration.įocused on the Culture of Study Abroad, as well as mindful of the specific location of the conference in Canada and its increased inward international student mobility especially from Asia, the conference organizers invite proposals for papers, panels, and workshops that concern one or more of the following questions:ġ.

Given the ongoing increasing mobility of students across borders for the purpose of acquiring a foreign language in another culture and gaining cross-cultural experiences, as well as the growing depth of academic interest in the area of study abroad especially where language development and intercultural awareness are concerned, this conference focuses specifically on the central matter of culture - or cultures - in foreign language study abroad contexts. This conference, organized in association with the AILA-ReN on study abroad research, intends to bring together scholars and practitioners for plenary talks, research presentations, panels, workshops, and posters exploring various facets of the culture of study and residence abroad and their relationship to foreign language learning.
