June, the 10th : Ph D pre conference

IAIMTE organizes its 9th International Symposium "Literacies and effective learning and teaching for all 'in collaboration with Université Paris-Est Creteil (UPEC) and IUFM. It will be chaired by Brigitte Marin.

The conference aims to exchange theory, research, curricular developments, and 'best practices' in education (at all levels, ranging from early childhood to higher education), teacher education and in service.

The exchanges and interactions offer an international platform for language and education practitioners and researchers – including Ph.D. candidates – to present their research on L1 education in their particular national, educational and school contexts to a truly international audience.

Literacies as a subject of reflection
For the 2013 conference, we are particularly interested in issues of teaching and learning in relation with literacy. The achievement of students assessed on an international basis (PISA for fifteen years old students, PIRLS for primary school students in their fourth year at school) have got the attention of managers, teachers and researchers on two major issues:
- the difference among systems and practices when effectiveness in improving literacy is concerned, as far as improving the literacy skills of students is concerned;
- the differences among systems and practices when equity is concerned: in some cases, the gap between pupils may deepen, while in other cases, teaching practices may boost skilled pupils as well as underachievers.

These inquiries also shed light on the various ways of determining effectiveness and equity in teaching practices from one country to another.

In this 2013 conference, we will especially focus on effective teaching and learning, on attainment levels, on what students, teachers, schools and the educational system as a whole must achieve. We strive to a research based discussion on effective instruction. And, as always, we will welcome any contribution related with literacy.

Researchers may deal with any school level (primary, secondary schools and higher education), with teachers’ education, with lifelong learning. They may draw from any discipline able to throw light on how to build literacy skills: linguistics, psychology, philosophy, sociology, literature...
The focus may be on teaching practices, even on professional skills of teachers, or on how students deal with their learning tasks and the reasons why they fail or succeed.
