Specialists in language teaching and learning discuss multilingualism and multimodality in higher education at the UJI in the sixth ICLHE Congress, which runs until 18 October.

The congress organised by the ICLHE Association (Integration of Content and Language in Higher Education) was inaugurated by the rector of the Universitat Jaume I, Eva Alcón, who was very pleased that the UJI could host this meeting "because it reinforces our common commitment to multilingualism and to exploring new ways of teaching and learning languages". Alcón, who also congratulated the organising committee of this congress, stressed that multilingualism has been a reality for decades and the natural way of communicating in society. "Multilingualism has been adopted naturally by families, where it is increasingly common for two or more languages to live together. For this reason, I am personally convinced that multilingualism will be strengthened in the coming years, and societies that choose to ignore this phenomenon, which is already global, will be impoverished as a consequence", said the rector.

Finally, Alcón recalled that the Universitat Jaume I has promoted actions to foster multilingualism and favourable attitudes towards languages and their usefulness when transferring knowledge, identity and as an instrument of communication between people. "As a higher education institution committed to multilingualism, our aim is to promote the use of all languages, increase linguistic self-esteem and encourage coexistence between all languages, so that the university community can see them as an opportunity and an instrument for connecting with the world", concluded Eva Alcón.

For her part, Inmaculada Fortanet, director of the organising committee of the congress and lecturer at the UJI, recalled the figure of Gunther Kress, a member of the scientific committee who died last June and a reference in multimodality, one of the two central topics to be addressed at this meeting.

Finally, the president of the ICLHE Association, Bob Wilkinson, explained that its aim is to share knowledge and exchange talent and experiences on content and language in higher education.
