Call for Papers

Dear Researchers,

We are happy to announce that Sixth International ULEAD Conference on Research in Applied Linguistics - ICRAL 2022, hosted by Amasya University, will be held on 09-11 May 2022 in Amasya, Turkey.  The theme of the ICRAL 2022 is "Bridging the Gap in the Digital Era: Optimistic Problem-Solving in Applied Linguistics and Language Teaching ".

ICRAL  takes as its premise that applied linguistics underpins a vast range of disciplines, and we intend the 2022 meeting to encourage exploration of the role that applied linguistics plays in many walks of life. We hope the conference will encourage proposals from a wide range of disciplines and that this in turn will encourage cross-disciplinary dissemination of ideas and research.
