“Applied linguistics focuses on addressing specific language-related issues. Thus, it not only enhances our understanding of various aspects of language learning and use – such as its social, identity, psychological, cognitive, and neurophysiological dimensions – but also seeks to help answer critical language-related questions in our societies,” says Inga Hilbig, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Philology at Vilnius University, who is also the head of the organizing committee for the 7th Conference of Applied Linguistics “Languages and People”.
Confirmed plenary speakers for this international and interdisciplinary event include Prof. Li Wei, one of the foremost scholars in translanguaging research, as well as Prof. Xiao Lan Curdt-Christiansen and Prof. Elizabeth Lanza, both leading figures in the field of family language policy.
Submissions for oral and poster presentations are due by February 17, 2025.
The conference will be held from 25–27 September 2025 at the Faculty of Philology, Vilnius University. For more information, please visit: www.litaka.lt
