THE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON NEW TRENDS

IN LANGUAGE STUDIES

28-29 April 2023

The Faculty of Foreign Languages, Social Sciences University of Ankara (ASBU), will host The International Symposium on New Trends in Language Studies in 2023, the 100th anniversary of the establishment of our Republic. In the symposium, language studies in the twenty-first century across the world will be extensively discussed.

The rapidly changing world requires reviewing existing practices and studies and discussing new trends and approaches in language studies. Accordingly, the symposium aims to focus on the role of language in such areas as technology, international migration, tourism, health, literature, and education; and what effect language has in solving the emerging problems in these areas. The symposium will be hosted both onsite and online on 28-29 April 2023 in Ulus, Ankara, Türkiye. The symposium welcomes studies that focus on and propose solutions to the problems on the topics of the role and significance of the Turkish language in the world, new approaches to foreign language teaching, new trends in translation studies, translation studies in Türkiye and the world, language of the digital world, and the relations among language, thought, and science.

All papers submitted to the symposium will go through a double-blind review. The accepted papers will be published in the abstract book. In addition, selected studies will be featured in the 2023 Special Issue of World Language Studies (https://wls.asbu.edu.tr/tr), the internationally indexed academic journal published by the Faculty of Foreign Languages, Social Sciences University of Ankara, and also in the 2023 December Issue of Eurasian Journal of Language Teaching and Linguistic Studies (https://www.eajltls.com/index.php/home). Participation in the symposium is free of charge; and the symposium welcomes proposals prepared both in Turkish and English. Abstracts will be accepted until 24 March 2023.
