So far, the Applied Language Studies House educational organisation has organised successful international conferences such as the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th International conferences on Language Education and Research (in Athens, Thessaloniki and Heraklion, Greece) and the 1st Symposium on Language Education and Research in London.
21 presenters from 16 countries and 15 higher education institutions will contribute to this event.
The theme of the 2nd Symposium on Language Education and Research is: Pathway to progress: Teaching Innovation and Inspiration Interchange and its subthemes: Emerging technologies, best practices in innovative methodologies, curriculum and materials design and development, language assessment. This conference is an important event because the contribution of cultural values in teaching adds or should add to the different ways of using the language functions or other aspects of language. Secondly, studying language variation may guide language development activities. Thirdly, the need for the provision of adequate resources such as ESL/EFL textbooks to accommodate all the learners, reducing the teacher-learner ratio in the classrooms, organising capacity building workshops for ESL teachers, and changing the medium of instruction for all grades might be considered one of the most significant areas for discussion. Last but not least, the intrusion of AI and further educational tools based on technology in language education is creating a new environment for teachers and learners.
