Call for Proposals / Appel à communications
Although a major part of European history was, from the 16th century onwards, deeply linked to various colonial projects, the learning and teaching of non-European languages within the colonial encounter remains understudied, with the exception of missionary linguistics.In the historiography of language learning and teaching (and the HoLLT events so far) the focus tends to be the external diffusion of European languages, usually in relation to the teaching and learning of these languages within Europe (e.g. McLelland & Smith 2014; Smith & McLelland 2018) or outside Europe (Frijhoff & Sanchez Summerer, 2016). Priority is also often given to European languages.
This HoLLT symposium intends to explore the social, political, and historical forces that mediate language ideology and practices in non-European language teaching and learning between the late 18th and mid-20th centuries.
