Following the previous three conferences on “Interdisciplinary Approaches to Language Teaching, Literature and Translation Studies” and having realized the necessity to address a wider scope of inquiry, Department of English at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad has decided to organize the 4th Conference on Interdisciplinary Approaches to Language Teaching, Literature and Translation Studies (LTLTS4).
The two-day event is scheduled to be held on Tuesday and Wednesday, 17-18 May 2022 in the Faculty of Letters and Humanities, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. Cross-cultural use of language in multimodal forms is a dynamic phenomenon which involves diverse challenges in relation to various environments. As traditionally-envisioned scholarly boundaries do not seem to fully serve the present-day requirements; the principal aim of this conference is to promote interdisciplinary research activities by encouraging prospective participants to move beyond discipline-specific approaches and take advantage of methodological and conceptual frameworks which could help facilitate addressing common problems.
LTLTS4 welcomes contributions which were inspired by interdisciplinarity and had employed frameworks and approaches of two or more disciplines and had modified them so that they were better suited to certain language-related problems. The conference has the opportunity to review and select from among the contributions of scholars from varied fields of study and academic backgrounds such as political sciences, futures studies, psychology, area studies, information sciences, medicine, history, management, as well as more expected fields like literature, linguistics, education, translation and intercultural studies. Various events in the conference programs including, keynote speakers and featured talks, roundtables, workshops, as well as panels and posters show, will cover a wide spectrum of diverse items across one or several languages.
