The present volume collects papers from InnoConf19, which took place at
the University of Southampton on the 28th of June 2019. The theme of the
conference was 'Treasuring languages: innovative and creative approaches
in HE'. The contributions collected in this peer-reviewed volume aim to
reflect on best practice in higher education. They showcase innovative
approaches to support the multiple skills needed in our society whilst
fighting a decline in students wanting to learn languages. The short
papers selected for this volume display examples of innovative
curriculum design; enhancement of critical thinking, creative skills,
and intercultural awareness; the use of digital tools and
technology-enhanced learning, employability, innovative assessment, and
collaborative and independent learning. We believe this volume will be
of use to language teachers and practitioners in higher education and
beyond.
