Meeting Description:

The Faculty of Arts at Mutah University is hosting the 6th International
Conference of Literature and language as a platform for Interaction between
Civilizations on 2-4 July, 2019. 

The aim of the conference is to bring together scholars adhering to
contemporary linguistic theories to address long-standing or new theoretical
issues pertaining to the acquisition, learning and teaching of languages. The
accomplished technical and technological developments can stand out as signs
of the progress and development of nations, which is influenced by the
competence of the educational system and the ability to keep up with the
developments worldwide. For a better understanding of such developments,
communication is necessary which cannot be established unless channels of
understanding between peoples of the world is secured which is reliant on
learning and teaching languages, namely the multidisciplinary field of
language acquisition. 

The conference enhances chances of examining the up-to-date developments in
the field of contemporary theories of language acquisition as well as
spreading awareness about the status, aims, and trends of language teaching
and learning in the Arab World, and about the latest development in harnessing
contemporary technology in education techniques, acquisition strategies,
evaluation, curriculum development and building effective teaching methods.
Such endeavors have become a necessity as the Arabic language competes with
other world languages.
