This year’s conference, which is themed, “Language, communication, and literature in an uncertain and turbulent world,’ is scheduled to hold from April 17 to 19, 2023.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by the convener and Head, Department of English, University of Jos, Prof. Jeff Doki, and the Chairman, Local Organising Committee, Jerome Dooga.
“In this premier international conference, we want to strengthen several hundreds of co-researchers and practitioners from a wide range of linguistic, educational, social, and cultural organisations who share the aim of making language, communication, and literature socially engaging and internationally relevant to our dynamic and uncertain world,” the statement read.
It added, “This conference consolidates the global notion of political, social, economic, health, and cultural instability. We hope that this conference would create a community that should intervene in the major debates of our time and generates fresh ideas to mitigate the communication-related issues begging for answers. A key question here may be about capacity-building and competency for contemporary language learners, researchers, and activists.”
