Call for Papers:

Human fingerprints are unique to each individual. And each individual is unique with their own styles, attitudes, beliefs, values, perceptions, and behaviors. This uniqueness brings to human life dynamism, challenge, and inspire. Language learning is not different. Each learner bears within them their own unique orientation to the world, through which they receive and transmit their Self.

It is within the framework of individual language learning experience that the conference participants will focus their creative energy. By focusing on language learner's self-concept, we aim to foreground the role of the learner himself/herself in the process of language learning. Within this scope, the conference will be a platform of discussions for the academicians and practitioners carrying out a wide range of research topics related to Self, such as:

- Self-concept
- Individual differences the conference will be a platform of discussions for the academicians and practitioners carrying out self-related research on a wide range of topics
- Personality and learning
- Motivation and self-motivation
- Student self-regulation
- Language learning strategies
- Self-esteem
- Self-beliefs
- Willingness to communicate
- Language identity
- Learner autonomy
- Anxiety
