CLIL Connect 2026 aims to bring together insights and practices from different contexts, disciplines and perspectives, and to explore connections between them. We therefore hope for a varied programme, with contributions from both CLIL and other, similar contexts, and from colleagues with diverse experiences and expertise, for example in teaching practice, research, policy or materials design.
Given the conference theme, we especially welcome contributions in which ‘blurring lines’ and/or ‘building bridges’ are apparent. Examples might be practices or research findings achieved through collaboration in interdisciplinary, cross-curricular, plurilingual or international teams, or between teachers, researchers and students, or through cross-pollination between contexts or disciplines. Presenters are asked to explain the connection to the theme in their abstract, and to address these aspects in the execution of their presentation, poster or workshop. Researchers in particular are requested to consider the broad target audience when preparing their presentation, and to focus on practical findings and implications over research methodology.
CLIL Connect is aimed at colleagues working in contexts where the Dutch language plays a role (e.g. as home language, first school language, as CLIL target language). While this audience remains the focus of CLIL Connect 2026, in the spirit of ‘building bridges’, contributions from other contexts will also be considered, as long as it is clear how what you have to say can be of value to colleagues in these Dutch-speaking contexts.
Ways to share your work
Contributions can take the following forms:
Good practice presentation (20 minutes + questions)
Research presentation (20 minutes + questions)
Practical workshop (60 minutes)
Poster or other multimedia presentation, focusing on either research or good practice (visual/multimedia product + short pitch + questions)
Contributions can be presented in Dutch, English or French (or a combination of these). Sample material and examples may of course be in other languages.
Submit your abstract or workshop description here or via the button above.
The programme committee will evaluate submissions based on stipulated criteria, which differ per contribution format (research or practice presentation, workshop, poster).
Timeline for submissions
The deadline for submission of abstracts for consideration by the programme committee is 14 February 2026.
The outcome of submissions will be communicated by 31 March 2026.
