The field of language teaching is constantly evolving with new challenges and innovations emerging on a regular basis. It can be a challenging field, as it involves helping students from diverse backgrounds and with varying levels of aptitude and motivation to learn a new language. However, it can also be extremely rewarding as it allows teachers to play a role in helping students expand their communication skills and cultural understanding. This call for research papers invites scholars, educators, and practitioners to share their research, insights, and experiences related to the challenges in language teaching and discuss some innovative solutions that have been developed to address these challenges.
          We welcome both qualitative and quantitative research, as well as case studies and reflective practice papers. Participants could share their studies as poster and oral presentations; workshop and panels. In order to make oral and poster presentations, it is necessary that abstract papers be submitted in the appropriate format through the application form given in the website. These papers are to be blind-reviewed by at least two members of our advisory board considering their scope, content, and quality. Accepted proposals are to be announced to the participants through e-mail.  
         The official languages of the conference are Turkish and English. Submission deadline is June 16, 2023. The conference meets the requirements of the associate professorship criteria of the Interuniversity Board (ÜAK).
