Aims, scope, and goals
TSG 31: Language and communication in mathematics education is a recurrent group in ICME, devoted to the discussion and diffusion of the latest research on language aspects of mathematics education in a broad sense. We strive to organise a fulfilling scientific experience for all participants, and – in consistence with the topic of the group – to maximise participants’ possibilities to communicate and discuss their results and concerns. Along this line, we also wish to point out that, while the official language of the congress is English, we are aware that this is not the native language of most of the participants, so we will do our best to ensure that non-native speakers of English can also follow and participate fully in our work.
Of course, given the breadth of the topic of the group, we face the challenge of organising the sessions in themes that will allow for focus and coherence in the discussions, and to take up issues which are of particular importance in current research. The call explains in more detail how we have chosen to do so. Please do not hesitate to contact the organisers with your concerns and questions.
We look forward to welcome you to our group in Mexico in 2008!
