Meeting Description:

The importance of English linguistics in contemporary society is
undeniable, especially in a rapidly changing world due to the rise of
information technologies. English has consolidated as the global
lingua franca, used both in the digital realm where interactions and
information flow at a rapid pace, and in international communication
and business.

In the information age, English has become the language of technology,
science, research, and innovation. Most scientific and technological
advancements are documented in English, making it an essential
resource for those seeking to stay updated. English has significantly
contributed to the progress of modern societies as global scientific
and technological communities use it as a medium to collaborate and
share knowledge.

Furthermore, with the rise of AI and automation, technologies like
ChatGPT have emphasized the importance of English even more. Machine
learning models primarily trained on English data are utilized in
these natural language processing platforms. This demonstrates that
English is crucial not only for communication among people but also as
the foundational language driving interactions between humans and
technology.

In a world undergoing constant change, English linguistics cannot be,
and is not, detached from social transformation. Hence, this
conference seeks participants who can contribute to various fields of
English linguistics concerning advances in teaching, research, and
applications that have been developing regarding English in recent
years.

With this goal in mind, we aim to showcase our research, and the
conference’s contents will be publicly and openly accessible.
Participation in the symposiums will take place virtually and
asynchronously, and proposals can be submitted in either English or
Spanish.

CFP: Upload your presentation about any topics related to English
linguistics or English teaching before March 15. You can submit up to
3 presentations. Presenters will be selected to participate in a book
collection explaining their work.
