Concept Note
Key Themes:
Digital Literacies and Multimodal Communication: Generation Z’s engagement with digital technologies has fundamentally altered the way they communicate and interact with language. From emojis to memes, GIFs to social media slang, this generation has developed a unique repertoire of digital literacies. “Language Horizons” seeks to unravel the implications of these multimodal forms of communication on traditional language competencies and literary perspectives.
Cultural Influences and Globalization: The interconnectedness facilitated by globalization has led to the infusion of diverse cultural influences into the English language. Generation Z, being more globally connected than any previous generation, navigates a linguistic landscape enriched by multiculturalism. This Conference will examine how cultural diversity shapes language use and understanding, reflecting on the evolving notions of identity and belonging among young people.
Technological Innovations and Language Evolution: The rapid pace of technological innovation continually reshapes the linguistic environment. Artificial intelligence, machine translation, and voice assistants are just a few examples of technological advancements that impact language usage and comprehension. “Language Horizons” aims to explore the intersection of technology and language, investigating how these innovations shape linguistic proficiencies and literary expressions among Generation Z.
Education and Pedagogical Approaches: Traditional approaches to language education may no longer suffice in preparing Generation Z for the complexities of contemporary communication. “Language Horizons” will examine innovative pedagogical strategies and educational interventions aimed at fostering robust English language competencies that align with the needs and realities of today’s digital era.
“Language Horizons” endeavors to shed light on the intricate interplay between language, technology, culture, and education in shaping the linguistic landscape for Generation Z. By redefining our understanding of language competencies and literary perspectives, this project aims to contribute to the advancement of knowledge and the development of effective strategies for navigating the complexities of language in the 21st century.
The Conference invites Call for Paper drawing on insights from language, linguistics, education, sociology, media studies, and cultural studies. The conference will take the form of keynote speeches, symposia, individual paper presentations, and poster presentations. It will provide a platform for researchers, educators, and policymakers to share their latest research findings and best practices in English language education.
We invite you to join us for this scholastic endeavour and contribute to the evolving trends in English Language Competencies and Linguistic Proficiencies
