Special theme
The theme of this year is Bridging Worlds.
Language is both shaped by the world and a force that constructs new worlds. Applied linguistics stands at the crossroads of disciplines, perspectives, and communities, offering a space to reflect on how language fosters connection, marks distinction, and drives change.
We welcome submissions from undergraduates, postgraduates, and recent graduates whose research engages with the conference theme in one of the areas on the left.
