[MLE] Papers from 9th International Language and Development Conference, Sri Lanka 2011

Dear Multilingual Education Friends,

At a recent consultation someone quoted several times from papers that were presented at the 9th International Language and Development Conference held last year in Sri Lanka. That made me look up the website to see what all was posted there. I found over 20 papers on Language and Social Cohesion. A selection from what is there:

• Prem Bahadur Phyak Language-in-education policy in Nepal and its implications for social cohesion
• Prof Marie Perera “Building bridges” - National Integration through the teaching of the Second National Language
• Dr Gladys Focho Education and the language dilemma in multilingual societies: The case of Cameroon
• Tony Capstick Language in education policy and multilingual literacies research in Pakistan
• Leslie Gumba Mother tongue based literacy a tool for indigenous people’s empowerment
• Helen Pinnock Language, Education and Inclusion in Basic Education: From Why to How
• Selvaranee Illanco and M I Upendra Language for social cohesion and development

Thank you, Prem Livingstone of Eficor, for the tip.

Regards,

Karsten
