Description

'Connecting Cultures' and internationalisation through Commonwealth Foreign Languages: Language policies/state building - Gibraltar within the EU and the use of English in Gibraltar

'Connecting Cultures' is the Commonwealth theme for the year 2012. Language is a crucial element in constructing/connecting cultures, and the seminar will discuss the provision for learning and teaching of languages whose use transcends national boundaries.

Intercultural dimensions of language will be foregrounded in the discussions. A key anticipated outcome of the event will be the impact on policy at institutional, national or Commonwealth levels with specific reference to internationalisation strategies in the university/tertiary sector.
