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.
The Advanced Research Seminar is coordinated by CETAPS researcher Sandie Mourão. For any queries please email sandiemourao@fcsh.unl.pt
“… the challenge to reflect “aloud” in these seminars was fundamental to completing my doctorate.”(PhD student, Rita Zurrapa, July 2024)
Reframing Language Education: Dialogue, Practice and Possibility
Organised by Sandie Mourão & Catarina Castro
8 July 2026 – 09.30 to 16.30
Venue: online
Reframing Language Education: Dialogue, Practice and Possibility invites researchers to explore how language education is being reframed across contexts, methodologies, and practices. Continuing its tradition as a space for reflective exchange, this edition foregrounds dialogue between theory and practice, across career stages, and within diverse educational settings. Contributions may engage with emerging pedagogies, including dialogic, multimodal, and intercultural approaches, or revisit established frameworks in light of new challenges. As always, the seminar offers a supportive environment for presenting work in progress, fostering critical discussion, and shaping future directions in language education.
We welcome presentations on the seminar’s theme, or a formal presentation of any stage of your research – a literature review, methodological choices, emerging results, or the presentation of a particular project you are involved in.
Deadline for papers – 30 May 2026
Call for papers – here

The Advanced Research Seminar is open to all CETAPS/TEALS members and PhD students
The CETAPS/TEALS Advanced Research Seminar began in 2019 – it aims to provide avenues of interaction between established and early-career researchers and to address areas of research associated with languages in education. As a scientific seminar, it also endeavours 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.
