> Background
>
> As the inaugural conference of the newly formed International
> Association
> for Languages and Intercultural Communication, which has developed out
> of
> the series of annual cross-cultural capability conferences held at
> Leeds
> over the past four years, the conference will seek to further
> interdisciplinary debate in this important field through a programme
> which
> includes:
>
> * plenary addresses from leading specialists representing
> different
> disciplinary perspectives
> * seminars to further critical debate on new and ongoing research
> in the
> field
> * workshops/poster sessions dedicated to the sharing of pedagogy
>
> The Focus
>
> At the preceding conferences debate has centred on the way in which
> encounters with the other and the crossing of linguistic, geographic
> and
> political spaces is leading to new modes of thinking, feeling, and
> experiencing the world, and to the way in which these may influence
> and be
> reflected in our pedagogy. Increasing consideration is being given to
> the
> affective, psychological and expressive dimensions of language and
> intercultural learning, as new types of relationship are fostered by
> interactions on a global scale. The notion of consciousness, broad
> and
> interdisciplinary in scope, is emerging as one of our key concerns,
> and
> intrinsic to such questions as the negotiation of difference and
> similarity,
> the processing of meaning, and the shaping of identities.
