4th International Conference

We invite teachers, scholars and postgraduate students to participate and to 
contribute papers to the fourth international conference hosted by Kaunas

For effective communication across cultures one needs not only linguistic 
competence, but also social communicative skills and intercultural 
awareness. Language education could play a crucial role in stimulating a 
better understanding and mutual respect between different cultures. It is 
very important to develop communicative and intercultural competence 
necessary to participate fully in our modern societies.

The objective of the conference is to provide an international forum for 
researchers from around the world to exchange practices as well as to 
stimulate the implementation of innovative approaches into the studies of 
modern languages and culture.

The conference is expected to result in a broadening of the knowledge base
