CLIE2 - Second International Conference on Linguistic and
Intercultural Education
Linguistic and Cultural Diversity within European Learning Communities: Cross-cultural and Trans-national Perspectives
Herceg Novi, Montenegro
The European Network for Intercultural Education Activities (ENIEDA) in cooperation with The Centre for Research and Innovation in Linguistic Education (CIEL) of the University of Alba Iulia, Romania, and The Institute of Foreign Languages (IFL) of the University of Montenegro are organizing the Second International Conference on Linguistic and Intercultural Education (CLIE2) entitled "Linguistic and Cultural Diversity within European Learning Communities: Cross-cultural and Trans-national Perspectives". The special focus theme proposed for the conference is universal vs. culture specific in the discourse of academic and professional rhetoric. The conference is taking place in Herceg Novi, Montenegro, from 10-12 June 2010.
CLIE2 is open to linguistic and cross-cultural education-related topics broadly defined, looking more closely into the current dynamics in Europe between old and new trends, local and global tendencies, progressive and conservative views, stabilisation and destabilization patterns, national and European identities. Even though our aim is to focus primarily on European learning communities and their culture specific identities, we would welcome participants representing other geographical and geo-political regions and their contributions as well.

Prof. Cornelia Ilie, Faculty of Culture and Society, Malmö University, Sweden
Prof. Ljiljana Markovic, Faculty of Philology, University of
Belgrade, Serbia
Prof. Jacques Moeschler, Department of Linguistics, University of
