Event Details
The 10th International Conference on the Development and Assessment of Intercultural Competence February 27 – March 1, 2026 Hybrid (Tucson, Arizona & Online)
Intercultural Competence in a Rapidly Changing World: Supporting Sustainable Futures for All
Plenary presenters:
· Vanessa Andreotti (University of Victoria)
· Irina Golubeva (University of Maryland, Baltimore County)
· Ricardo Romhild (University of Passau)
In 2015, UN member states adopted Sustainable Development Goals to improve life globally by 2030. Goal 4 targets quality education for all, with emphasis on global citizenship and sustainable development.
We explore: What role can intercultural communicative language education play in promoting sustainability? What might this education look like? What implications exist for teachers and learners?
CERCLL invites proposals for papers, symposia, posters and workshops (in-person/virtual) addressing these themes. Choose from strands: theoretical approaches, assessment, curricula/instruction, technology, policy, exchanges, service learning, or professional development.
