The 3rd International Symposium on New Trends in Language Studies, jointly organized by the Faculty of Foreign Languages of Ankara Social Sciences University and the Faculty of Philology of Ahmet Yesevi International Kazakh-Turkish University, aims to comprehensively explore language studies in the 21st century. The symposium seeks to address every aspect of the concept of language—which is the most fundamental element of communication and a guiding force in people’s lives on an international scale. The focus will be on how language comes to the forefront with various purposes and contents in the fields of technological developments, artificial intelligence applications, multilingualism, migration, tourism, health, literature, technology, and education, and what kind of role it plays in solving the problems emerging in these areas.

In line with this vision, the symposium, coordinated by the Faculty of Foreign Languages and supported by the School of Foreign Languages and DILMER, aims to contribute to international language studies.
