Advances in Teaching Foreign Languages to Young Learners (Call for papers)

Online conference

September 22-23, 2022

Continuing and expanding the long-standing tradition of the German FFF conference series (Fortschritte im Frühen Fremdsprachenlernen = Advances in Teaching Foreign Languages to Young Learners) initiated by Prof. Dr. Norbert Schlüter and Prof. Dr. Heiner Böttger, this conference will bring together scholars working in the field of teaching foreign languages to young learners in the primary school context (ages 5 through 12) from all over the globe. The purpose of the conference is to provide an international platform to share current empirical insights into the learning and teaching of foreign (rather than second) languages to young learners in school contexts. The aim is to better understand the factors which contribute to effective and motivating early foreign language teaching and to identify research gaps which need to be tackled in the future. While the conference language will be English, research on any target language is welcome.
