CIEB 2019, under the motto “Languages. Bilingualism. Bilingual Education”, will continue analysing bilingual education within the Spanish Education system; the different bilingual programmes in the country, their advantages, disadvantages, how they develop, how they are implemented and managed, and what the results are. The Conference also seeks to pay a special attention to the differences between language teaching, bilingualism and bilingual education, taking into account the discussions raised at the previous 2017 and 2018 Conferences. All of these are well defined terms but they produce confusion, specially among families, when they are not appropriately used.

Generating a forum for discussion where ideas are exchanged among bilingual education and language teaching professionals is a prior objective. Primary and Secondary teachers deserve a strong support so that they continue providing the best bilingual education to their students by means of mastering the language instruction and by being as competent as posible. Technology and an updated methodology become essential tools for their teaching practices.
