The symposium focuses primarily on research that concerns the theme Language in practice – in a changing world, which should be interpreted in a broad and creative way.

• Language, digitalization and multimodality
• Language use and learning in new forms/at new arenas
• Cognitive perspectives on learning and their application in language teaching
• Risk and crisis communication
• Interpreting and translation
