Are you a PhD candidate or a young researcher at an Arqus university? Do you use Applied Linguistics methods in your research, or would you like to know more about it? Are you looking for an international forum to present your method and discuss it with peers? If so, we invite you to apply as a presenter for AL4ALL.
About the platform
In today's globalized and digitalized world, when striving for more relevant research outcomes, it is vital to seek multiperspectivity in research. This can be fostered via interdisciplinary exchange. We believe that linguistics has always benefitted from methods of other disciplines just as we believe that linguistic methods could benefit other disciplines.
AL4ALL seeks to provide a space for discussion, exchange of ideas and growth in all stages of education in PhD studies. In doing so, AL4ALL aims to catalyze the potential of applied linguistics and other methods in order to bridge the gap between different fields of research.
AL4ALL provides an online video conferencing platform for PhD candidates and other young researchers from various disciplines who use applied linguistics methods. 10 seminars of 90 minutes each will allow participants not only to present their methods to other peers, but also to engage in fruitful discussions about these methods.
This project is one of the winning proposals presented by Vilnius University Kaunas Faculty and University of Graz for the 2023 call in student co-designed projects launched by The Arqus European University Alliance.
