English and Other Languages across Cultures, Classrooms and Beyond. Task-Based Language Teaching and Discipline-Informed Language Education in Contexts of Mltilingualism, Migration and Global Mobility 15-16 October 2026, University of Siena, Italy The international conference English and Other Languages across Cultures, Classrooms and Beyond will take place at the University of Siena on 15-16 October 2026. It brings together researchers, language educators and practitioners to explore the intersection between Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) and Discipline-Informed Language Education (DILE) across diverse educational contexts. The conference focuses particularly on English language and higher education, while also opening up to other languages and educational sectors. With TBLT providing a common thread, it explores how language education intersects with disciplinary learning across contexts where language is learned through, alongside, or in relation to disciplinary content, including academic and professional communication, EMI and CLIL. Teacher education and technology-mediated learning and teaching will also inform reflection across these areas. The programme features keynote lectures by Giuseppe Balirano, Rosemary Erlam and Rod Ellis, an invited lecture by Carmen Argondizzo, research presentations, poster sessions, and a round table on TBLT in Italy, bringing together perspectives across languages, disciplines and educational contexts.  University of Siena, Presidio Mattioli, Siena, Italy 15-16 October 2026 Conference website: https://www.congressi.unisi.it/tbltsiena2026/ Conference programme: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aFWxSZFKoiViWUSYAoApr8X8pW9-NFlV/edit

The European Journal of English Studies (EJES) is inviting proposals for special issues in volume 32 (2028) – deadline 30 September 2026

Calls for proposals, ESSE CfP /

EJES takes an interest in topics that investigate the borders and intersections between different research fields in English studies, including, but not limited to, literary analysis, linguistics, critical and cultural theory, and gender and sexuality studies. This expansive focus allows the journal to encompass the plurality of English studies in Europe, a reflection of its affiliation with the European Society for the Study of English (ESSE). Topics of special issues feature high-level scholarship as well as a reflection on the argumentative strategies behind ongoing work and emerging directions in the study of Anglophone language and culture. Guest editing teams should consist of two or three scholars who work in different locations within Europe and who have some previous editorial experience. In some cases, EJES publishes issues that have grown out of a conference, a conference panel, or a (preferably trans-European) funded research project. Such issues can be considered if the resulting CFP also appeals to scholars who did not participate in the original enterprise. All submissions undergo a double-blind peer-review process. Proposals for topics for volume 32 (2028) should be sent to the editors before 30 September 2026: Isabel Carrera Suárez (University of Oviedo): icarrera@uniovi.es Katerina Kitsi-Mitakou (Artistotle University of Thessaloniki): katkit@enl.auth.gr Frederik Van Dam (Radboud University, Nijmegen): frederik.vandam@ru.nl
