[Cadaad] The I-LanD Seminar Series - 4th Edition (2nd semester) - 3rd Seminar

[I-LanD Research Centre]

Dear all,

The I-LanD Research Centre (https://i-land-researchcentre.eu/) is pleased to announce the second seminar in the I-LanD Seminar Series - 4th Edition (2nd semester).

Innovative in format and interdisciplinary in scope, the I-LanD Seminar Series brings together scholars to discuss key issues in their fields of expertise, with particular attention to theoretical perspectives, methodological approaches, research challenges, and emerging directions of inquiry. Each seminar opens with a brief introduction to the topic, followed by short presentations by invited speakers, a roundtable discussion among the panellists, and a Q&A session with the audience.

The calendar of upcoming seminars can be found attached or here: https://i-land-researchcentre.eu/the-i-land-seminar-series-3/

The third seminar, entitled "Artificial Intelligence in English Language and Translation: Bridging Research and Practice", will take place on Thursday, 23 April 2026, via Microsoft Teams, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. (CET).

The seminar will explore the transformative role of artificial intelligence across language education and translation. Bringing together scholars working at the intersection of pedagogy, research, and professional practice, the discussion will examine how AI is reshaping the ways languages are taught, learned, and mediated. As AI technologies increasingly function as cognitive and institutional actors, the seminar will address key issues such as teacher agency, ethical use, evolving translation practices, and the challenges of applying AI in diverse and often unequal educational contexts. By connecting theoretical insights with real-world applications, the seminar will foster a critical dialogue on how to engage with AI in ways that are informed, responsible, and context-sensitive.

Ezgi Aydemir Altas (Yildiz Technical University, Turkey)
Elif Buber (Center for Innovative Education, USA)
Alessia Chiriatti (Istituto Affari Internazionali, Italy)
Marián Kabát (Comenius University Bratislava, Slovakia)
