We are delighted to welcome you to the Fifth International
Language-for-All Conference (LfAC’26), which will take place on
October 22–23, 2026, at Çukurova University in Adana, Türkiye.
Centred on the theme “Social Justice: Language, Equity, Voice, and
Empowerment,” the conference brings together scholars, educators, and
practitioners working in language education, linguistics, literary
studies, translation and interpretation studies, and cultural studies
to examine how linguistic, literary, and cultural practices relate to
questions of power, knowledge, ideology, and social inequality.
While the conference welcomes interdisciplinary perspectives, it
equally values discipline-specific research grounded in the
theoretical, methodological, and analytical traditions of each field.
Particular emphasis is placed on critical and ethical inquiries into
equity, inclusion, representation, and voice, as well as on how
language, literature, and translation engage with issues such as
migration, multilingualism, marginalisation, identity, and access
across different social, cultural, and institutional contexts.
The fields of study include the following:
1. Language Education for Equity and Inclusion
2. Teacher Education and Professional Ethics
3. Literature, Voice, and Representation
4. Literature, Memory, and Historical Consciousness
5. Literature in Language Education
6. Language, Power, and Social Justice
7. Sociolinguistics
8. Global Englishes and Linguistic Justice
9. Critical Discourse and Applied Linguistics
10. Digital Discourses and Inequality
11. Translation, Power, and Ethics
12. Cultural Studies and Language Ideologies
13. Language, Identity, and Intersectionality
14. Language, Migration, and Mobility
We are honoured to host Prof. Dr. Encarnación Gutiérez Rodriguez
(Goethe-University Frankfurt am Main), Assoc. Prof. Dr. Emmanuel
Keuleers (Tilburg University), Assoc. Prof. Dr. Deniz Ortaçtepe Hart
(University of Glasgow), and Dr. Samantha Curle (University of Bath)
as keynote speakers at LfAC’26.
All accepted abstracts will be published online with an ISBN as The
Fifth International Language-for-All Conference: Book of Abstracts.
Selected full papers will also be considered for publication as
research articles in a special issue of OMNIALANG: International
Journal of Language Continuum. Acceptance to the conference does not
