The Department of Mathematics is organising an International Conference on Language Diversity and Mathematics Education (LADIME – 2025). This three-day international conference aims to explore the crucial role that language plays in the teaching and learning of mathematics, across the following five thematic areas:
Theme 1: Teaching Mathematics in Diverse Language Contexts
Theme 2: Teacher Education for Diverse Language Contexts
Theme 3: Researching Mathematics Teaching and Learning in Multilingual Contexts
Theme 4: Mathematics, Language Diversity and Society
Theme 5: Student Mathematics Learning and Experiences in Multilingual Classrooms
The primary objective of the conference is to bring together educators, researchers, and policymakers from around the world to share insights, research findings, and pedagogical innovations that advance understanding of how linguistic diversity influences mathematics education at various levels of learning.
The conference will feature invited and keynote addresses by distinguished professors and experts in the field of Mathematics Education, along with five thematic panel discussions on:
- Language in Mathematics Textbooks
- Mathematics Teacher Education and Language Diversity
- Researching the Language Question in Mathematics Education
- Sociopolitical Factors, Language and Mathematics Education
