1. EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES 26 September 2002
i - Symposium: COMPETING FOR SPACE
ii - Coordinating events for the European Day of Languages

i Symposium:
COMPETING FOR SPACE 2nd Southampton Symposium to celebrate the
European Day of Languages

COMPETING FOR SPACE: Can immigrant and indigenous linguistic
minorities coexist? 26 September 2002 University of Southampton

After the highly successful first symposium, The End of Babel?, held last
year, Southampton University's School of Modern Languages and the Subject
Centre for Language, Linguistics and Area Studies will once again be hosting
a day symposium on a current topical language issue. We have been very
fortunate in securing four excellent and well-known speakers to deliver the
key papers.

Prof. Peter Nelde (Catholic University, Brussels)
Dr. Miquel Strubell (universitat Oberta, Barcelona, and formerly of the
Language Policy Directorate of the Generalitat)
Prof. Colin Williams (Cardiff University)
Euan Reid (Institute of Education, London)

To register on line: http://www.lang.ltsn.ac.uk/events/events_sc.html

There will be no fee for the day's event, but places will be limited. So please
register your intention to attend early.

ii Coordinating Events for the European Day of Languages
European Day of Languages, 26 September 2002

It's only seven weeks away and there will be a number of activities around the
UK to mark the day. The BBC is planning a special week of programming
and there will be special items on the BBC languages website. It is also
expected that local radio stations (last year 48 came on board) will show
some interest and will want to talk to regional contacts. If you are willing to
act as a "spokesperson" for your area, please give your details to Teresa
Tinsley ([log in to unmask]) at CILT. CILT will be coordinating a web-
based 'European Day of Languages Box" which will include: a basic briefing
sheet about the day; information about resources available to promote
languages; language activities for different target audiences. They are also
pursuing the idea of the multilingual stickers which seemed to be a great
success with adults and youngsters alike last year - samples will be sent out
via CILT Direct. A number of universities targeted their local communities last
year, with taster courses and open doors to their language resource centres.
We will again list activities on our web pages if you can let us know what you
are doing (please email [log in to unmask]). Two final points: the Subject
Centre Languages Box will be launched on the 26th at the Symposium in
Southampton and we hope to attract the interest of the Times Educational
Supplement so that schools and colleges will be alerted to the fact that they
should contact their local university to come and talk about the benefits of
language learning; if you haven't joined the National Languages Forum, a post-
EYOL discussion group pulling together ideas on policy and implementation,
it's at <http://www.mailbase.ac.uk/lists/natlangs-forum/>

2. THE LANGUAGES BOX
