CALL FOR PAPERS English and Other Languages across Cultures, Classrooms and beyond (deadline 30 May)

CFPs Conferences, Members' Events, News, upcoming /

University of Siena, 15-16 October 2026 Contemporary language education operates within increasingly complex sociolinguistic environments shaped by migration, global mobility, multilingualism, large student cohorts, and growing informal exposure to English and other languages. Within these contexts, language classrooms are no longer isolated spaces but form part of broader learning ecologies in which formal instruction interacts with informal language use, digital media, and multicultural communicative practices. This conference explores how language education can respond coherently and effectively to these conditions while maintaining a strong focus on interaction, learner engagement, motivation, and disciplinary communication. While English will feature prominently, the conference welcomes contributions addressing the teaching and learning of other languages, as well as multilingual and cross-linguistic perspectives. Particular attention will be paid to higher education contexts, where students are often required not only to learn languages but also to use them as tools for accessing, constructing, and communicating disciplinary knowledge. In particular, the conference aims to explore the role of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) as a pedagogical framework capable of responding to the shifting dynamics of our globalised world. This is achieved by building on key international contributions (e.g., Ellis 2003, 2005, 2019; Erlam 2015; Erlam & Tolosa 2022; Long 1985, 2015a, 2015b, Prahbu 1987; Willis 1996), as well as on studies carried out in the Italian context (e.g., Borro 2021; Della Putta & Sordella 2022; Della Putta & Ghia 2025; Morgana 2023; Nuzzo & Cortés Velásquez 2018; Nuzzo & Ferrari 2011; Petrocelli 2021, 2025; Petrocelli, Pizziconi, Ghia & Di Ferrante 2022). Contributions may examine how task-based approaches can support learner engagement and motivation (e.g., Gutiérrez 2024), particularly in contexts where English is no longer positioned solely as a subject to be learned but functions as a lingua franca within multicultural settings, including informal, media-saturated environments (Pavesi & Ghia 2020, Pavesi et al. 2025). At the same time, the conference seeks to place TBLT in dialogue with discipline-informed language education, exploring connections with established traditions and practices such as Language for Specific Purposes (LSP), Language for Academic Purposes (LAP) and Language for Specific Academic Purposes (LSAP) (Long 2015b; Serafini et al. 2015; Siddiqui & Winke 2023), English Medium Instruction (EMI) (Moore 2017), and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) (Nikula 2015; Ortega 2015; Ahmadian & García Mayo 2018; Petrocelli et al. 2022). These approaches raise important questions about how language teaching can support students in engaging with disciplinary knowledge, academic discourse, and specialised communicative practices. The conference, therefore, welcomes contributions that investigate how task-based, discipline-informed pedagogical approaches are interpreted, adapted, and implemented in educational contexts characterised by mobility, multilingualism, and large student populations, both within and beyond higher education (Álvarez & Pérez Cavana 2015; Duong & Nguyen 2021; Liu & Ren 2021). Perspectives from teacher education and professional development in relation to task-based and discipline-informed approaches are also welcome. The aim is to foster an inclusive dialogue on how language education can adapt to contemporary learning ecologies while remaining theoretically grounded and pedagogically purposeful. Contributions may address, but are not limited to, the following questions: How can meaningful interaction be structured and sustained in large-enrolment language learning contexts?How can task-based approaches support learners’ and teachers’ engagement and motivation, especially in multilingual and multicultural classrooms?How can language education enable students to analyse, construct, and communicate disciplinary knowledge effectively?How can explicit and implicit dimensions of language learning be integrated within coherent curriculum design?How can TBLT be adapted to contexts characterised by mobility, migration, and diverse linguistic repertoires?How can task-based approaches be integrated with LSP, LAP, LSAP, EMI support, or CLIL practices?What role do informal language exposure and digital environments play in shaping task-based learning opportunities?What role does technology-mediated communication play in task-based design and implementation?How can language instructors interpret and respond to learning difficulties in multilingual classrooms shaped by migration and linguistic diversity?How can teacher education and professional development respond to the challenges of implementing TBLT and discipline-informed language education in multilingual and large-enrolment contexts?We welcome theoretical, empirical, and practice-based contributions that address these issues across educational settings and sociolinguistic contexts.

CALL FOR PAPERS: (Im)politeness on the Page

CFPs Conferences, Members' Events, News, upcoming /

December 14th – 15th, 2026 – University of Naples L’Orientale The conference continues the tradition of previous events on linguistic (im)politeness hosted by the Argo Research Centre. Following the respective conferences on cinema, TV series and theatre, this year’s edition aims to investigate (im)politeness in fictional and scientific texts that use the page as their medium from a philological, linguistic and literary point of view. Since the idea of textuality has gradually encompassed a wide spectrum of written forms, the term “page” is understood as any material medium bearing written language. The purpose of the conference is to adopt a cross-disciplinary approach to non-book media, such as urban spaces, the human body, and digital environments. In light of these conceptual horizons, while the methodological frameworks of (im)politeness have been traditionally applied to textual forms related to dialogue (drama, screenplays, spoken language), the conference addresses underinvestigated textualities: fictional prose, scientific-argumentative texts, forms of urban writing (textual graffiti), lettering and quotations in tattoos, acronyms and abbreviations, online written interactions and comments. We invite proposals for 20-minute presentations. The main topics of interest include, but are not limited to, (im)politeness phenomena in: Abstracts should not exceed 300 words (excluding title, bibliography, and keywords) and should be sent as e-mail attachments in .doc or .docx to roberto.esposito@unior.it, m.mirto@unior.it, and a.marino105@unior.it by 10/05/2026 30/05/2026.

International Conference “Pleasure and Pain in Women’s Writing” – Organized by IWWA (International Women’s Writing Association) and the L&GEND Research Group (deadline for submissions: April 24, 2026)

CFPs Conferences, Members' Events, News, upcoming /

9th-11th September 2026G. d’Annunzio University of Chieti-Pescara, ItalyConference Venue: Department of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures, Pescara This in-person conference of the International Women’s Writing Association (IWWA), organized incollaboration with the L&GEND (Literature & Gender Identity) International Research Group, willbe held at G. d’Annunzio University in the Pescara Campus, offering an interdisciplinary and crossperiodinvestigation of women’s writing in all its forms, mediums, and expressions. The conference explores sensations of pleasure and pain in women’s writing, examining how theseexperiences are shaped, interpreted and endowed with meaning in texts produced by women acrossdifferent cultures and historical periods. As theorized by Henri Bergson, pleasure and pain providecrucial insights into the past, present and future; they belong to complex sensory systems that resistautomatic responses to the world and contribute to the formation of consciousness. In this sense, theyfunction as vehicles of resistance, freedom, and awareness (Suzanne Guerlac, Thinking in Time,2006). By investigating representations of pleasure and pain, the conference aims to foster criticalreflection on how women narrate intense, gendered sensory experiences, how they foreground thesocial consequences of women’s emotional vulnerability, and how they articulate forms of strategicrestraint alongside assertions of individual freedom to experience pleasure or suffering with intensity. Speakers are invited to examine these dynamics in a variety of genres, forms of cultural productionand media, including written literature and the digital, poetry and prose, the popular and the canonical,creative and factual writing, life-writing and biographies, theories and histories, screen and script,films and television. We encourage the exploration of collaborative and individual works, ofimaginative practices and women’s realities, of representation of personal and public issues, across awide range of disciplines, time periods, cultures and texts.We welcome submissions for individual twenty-minute papers as well as for full panels andworkshops. Topics might include, but are not limited to: ● Women’s writing on page, stage, and screen● The portrayal and evolution of pleasures and pains across different periods and genres● Cultural, historical, and social contexts for pleasure and pain ● Trauma in women’s writing ● Representations of physical and psychological pain● Solidarity and difference● Views of forbidden and conventional pleasure● Women’s sexual pleasures and pains● Intellectual pleasure/pain● Technologies and pleasure/pain● Women writing love and romance● Narratives of abuse● Consent and intimacy on the page and screen● Performing pleasures and/or pain● Love and loss● Writing the pleasure and pain of women’s lives● The portrayal of pleasure and pain in global fictions and narratives● The ways in which pleasure and pain challenge or reinforce social norms● The pleasure of the text● Bestsellers, blockbusters, and popular writing● Representing the pleasures and pains of women’s authorship● The Gothic’s fascination with pleasures and pains● Reclaiming and resisting pain● Pleasure, pain, and powerKeynote speakers of the conference will be Marilena Parlati (University of Padua, Italy), JoanneElla Parsons (Falmouth University, UK) and Jennifer Schnabel (Ohio State University, US). Submissions:Proposals should include a title, an abstract of 250-300 words, a brief biographical note (up to 100words), and contact details.

Call for papers for a special issue of Lingue e Linguaggi, “Redefining English Teaching and Learning in Digital Contexts at Tertiary Level

CfPs: Journals, News, upcoming /

Guest-editors: Federico Gaspari (Università Telematica San Raffaele di Roma, Italy) and Roxanne Holly Padley (Università Telematica Pegaso, Italy) Abstract proposals are sought for a special issue in the peer-reviewed international journal Lingue e Linguaggi focusing on how English teaching and learning at university are being redefined in digital contexts. New technologies, generative AI, and digital approaches to English teaching and learning are constantly evolving, with variable degrees of success and satisfaction for lecturers and students (e.g., Padley, 2020; Luppi, 2022; Iori, 2023). English is increasingly taught and learnt at university through online platforms, virtual environments and apps, and this applies both to specialist students (e.g., of languages, linguistics, translation, interpreting, and linguistic and cultural mediation) as well as to those in other areas and disciplines. In addition, the digital dimension is becoming more and more an integral part in both traditional academic settings (e.g., Kostka and Toncelli, 2023; Suárez and El-Henawy, 2023; Hassan, 2025) and in informal learning (e.g., Pavesi and Bianchi, 2024; De Riso, 2025; Lai and Wang, 2025). This special issue intends to encourage an open and inclusive debate on the issues, opportunities and challenges involved in teaching and learning English online at university, focusing on how traditional approaches and practices are being modified and updated, and on the new and emerging methodologies and technologies that exploit the full potential of digital language education. We invite theoretical, methodological, pedagogical and applied contributions, case studies and position papers in English with a strong research component that examine fully digital, hybrid, blended, synchronous and/or asynchronous university courses and classes at undergraduate and postgraduate level, including Masters’ and doctoral programmes, as well as those delivered in English within English as a second language contexts. Topics of particular interest for the special issue include, but are not limited to, the following: Abstract proposals in English (maximum 300 words, excluding references) should be sent by 15 May 2026 to both guest-editors: federico.gaspari@uniroma5.it and roxanneholly.padley@unipegaso.it Notification of acceptance: 1 June 2026 Deadline for submission of full manuscripts: 18 September 2026 Deadline for submission of revised papers: 1 February 2027 Publication: 2027 References De Riso, C.
