Advanced Research Seminar: Languages in Education
The TEALS Advanced Research Seminars takes place online two times a year, in February and July, with the objective of providing avenues of interaction between established and early career researchers to address areas of research associated with languages in education. As scientific seminars, they aim to contribute towards breaking new ground in language education and to involve the presentation and discussion of both recently published work and research in progress. All CETAPS/TEALS members are welcome and encouraged to participate in the seminar.
This seminar is part of the CETAPS’ project UIDB/04097/2020, funded by FCT

6th Advanced Research Seminar
Researching multilingualism and education for a global citizenship
Organised by Sandie Mourão and Catarina Castro
9 February 2023
The 6th Advanced Research Seminar: Researching multilingualism and education for a global citizenship brings keynote speakers with expertise in these two fields, Mónica Lourenço (University of Aveiro, Portugal) opened the day with a talk entitled ‘Educating teachers for global citizenship in Portugal: from envisioning to enacting’, and Nayr Ibrahim (Nord University, Norway) closed the day with her research into multilingualism and a talk on, ‘DLC artefacts in teacher education: engaging teachers with multilingualism’. The aim of this seminar was also to provide a space for PhD students to present their work in progress and so we also have seven presentations from doctoral students discussing their research proposals or snapshots of their results and discussion around analysis.

CETAPS / TEALS Advanced Research Seminar
On a verbal-visual continuum: Approaches to data collection and analysis
Organised by Sandie Mourão, Ana Leão and Catarina Castro
13 July 2022
The 5th Advanced Research Seminar looks specifically at the variety and range of approaches to data collection and analysis associated with research in the Social Sciences and Humanities. With two keynotes that delineate the ends of a verbal-visual continuum, Chrysi Rapanta (IFILNova) opened the seminar with an interdisciplinary look at discourse analysis and Silvia Melo Pfeifer (University of Hamburg) closed the day with a colourful overview of visual analysis. The aim of this seminar is to provide a space for PhD students to present their work in progress with a focus on their approaches to data collection and analysis – along the continuum. Papers shared and discussed the reasons for methodological choices, the tools discovered, the challenges and triumphs encountered, the results that are emerging and the inevitable questions that ensue.
