23–24 January 2027, Madrid
The theme for the conference is Language Without Limits: Empowering Multilingual Learners
Our 2024 conference focused on overcoming boundaries to enable multilingual learners to thrive academically and emotionally. Under the theme From Borders to Bridges, we explored how barriers can be dismantled across languages, within school structures, across communities, and between research and practice. The conference also marked a significant milestone as MLIE celebrated its 40th anniversary.
Building on this foundation, the 2027 conference moves the conversation forward by asking: how are schools empowering multilingual learners today? While we now have a strong understanding of how barriers can be addressed, this year we aim to explore how these ideas are being implemented in practice three years on.
