The Magic of Innovation: OUTLOOK FOR LINGUISTICS AND LANGUAGE TEACHING IN THE PRESENT CONTEXT

Dear colleagues, submitted abstracts are reviewed by the Programme Committee. Each participant is allowed to submit only one application. If two or more applications (individual or in co-authorship) are submitted, the first one is considered for acceptance.

Acceptance will be based on the following criteria:

• The abstract is between 200-250 words and accurately reflects the key points of your research (aims, materials, methodology, and results);
• The presentation is directly relevant to the theme of the conference;
• The presentation is related to the issues of the chosen session;
• The content of the proposed presentation corresponds to the topic;
• The presentation contains new ideas, data or conclusions not previously presented or considers a long-standing issue from a new perspective; all submissions will be screened for plagiarism and self-plagiarism;
• The presentation caters for an audience of professionals in your field;
• The presentation is of theoretical interest and/or practical value to your audience rather than merely descriptive (conference reports, reviews and the like are not accepted).

Proposals that do not meet the criteria will be declined without review. The Programme Committee's decision is final, and no correspondence will be entered into.

To help break down the barriers that prevent scholars from sharing their research with the broader academic community, we are excited to offer travel grants to applicants who have their research papers accepted. Grants are limited in number and will be awarded on a competitive basis by the Programme Committee based on application review.

Travel expenses will be calculated based upon the least expensive, reasonable travel option. Applicants themselves and/or their home institutions must cover any additional expenses. 

Who is eligible:

• The applicant must be a presenting author on a conference abstract
• Only one co-author per presentation is eligible
• The applicant must represent a university outside the Commonwealth of Independent States

How to apply

Upon submitting your abstract, press TRAVEL GRANT to access the application form. The Committee will only consider those applications that have been submitted through the relevant section of the website.

Please be advised that grant funds will NOT be disbursed directly to recipients (DO NOT BUY THE TICKET); rather the conference team will take care of the travel arrangements after the dates, itinerary and financial details have been finalized with the grant recipient.

Dear conference speakers, if you want the conference delegates to communicate successfully, please note that good conference interpretation is a joint venture of interpreters and speakers. The former must be professional; the latter should not rush with their presentation and are requested to:

• give the interpreters a hard copy of their presentation during registration even if they do not intend to read it through;

• give the interpreters a hard copy of the power point presentation they are going to use as the interpreters’ booth does not offer a good view of the conference hall or the viewing screen;

• speak distinctly and clearly;

• explain the acronyms and abbreviations when first used even if they seem obvious to the speaker.
