Meeting Description:

You are invited to take part in LIF2017 - 4th. Language in Focus Conference to
be held in Cyprus, the birthplace of Aphrodite. Annual LIF conferences have
already become an academic platform for exchanging exciting ideas, projects
and scientific research results between aspiring academics, teachers, and
well-known researchers. In harmony with this spirit of academic enthusiasm,
LIF2017 Conference aims at providing a forum for participants from various
disciplines and research communities to advance interconnections between
Applied Linguistics and ELT and explore different perspectives on the
application of research findings into practice.

As Pennycook states “Rather than trying to understand our practice according
to some form of totalizing or universal discourse, we need to recognize the
complexities of language teaching and its contexts, and strive to validate
other, local forms of knowledge about language and teaching” (Pennycook, 1989,
p.613). For this reason, LIF2017’s theme “Multiple Perceptual Frames on ELT
and SLA”  aims at seeking opportunities to explore recent research in the
fields of Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics and create an ambience to
discuss more about specialist areas such as teacher education, materials
development, teaching English for academic purposes, management and evaluation
in ELT, intercultural competence, data driven learning, corpus linguistics,
translation’ Content and Language Integrated Learning in English and other
Languages, literature in language teaching.
