Event
"Native Language in the XXI Century - System, Education, Perspectives" (in Memory of Professor Michał Jaworski)
The Institute of Linguistics and Literary Studies at Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce invites you to participate in a scientific conference on the status and role of the native language in the modern world (with particular emphasis on the Polish language).
The conference is devoted to reflection on contemporary research on native language and its didactics from a local and international perspective. It refers to research findings on the acquisition and education of L1 (native language). The subject of the discussion will be the Polish language and other European languages acquired and explored as first languages.
The aim of the scientific debate is to present the state of research on the Polish language and didactics of Polish language and literature against the background of other European paradigms and practices. The scientific meeting, planned online on Nov. 17-18, 2022 (ONLINE), will initiate scientific cooperation between scientists from different countries, and will also enable the dissemination of the results of Polish research related to teaching and learning the native language.
The organizers hope to exchange views on modern ways of researching the native language in its various contexts and to describe its acquisition and tendencies in contemporary didactics. The result will also constitute a register of various relationships in which the native language is included (research practices, social actions, changes related to the use of modern technologies, the native language of people with migration experience, the language of school education, etc.), which will be collected in conference materials and a publication in English in a foreign scientific publishing house (the second level on the list of publishing houses of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education).
The conference refers to the tradition of didactic research in the field of the native language at the Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce and commemorates the outstanding Polish language educator – Professor Michał Jaworski.
We invite you to submit your speeches in the following thematic sections:
1. Native language acquisition – research methodology and practice;
2. The state and prospects of didactic research on the native language; educational challenges in the era of modern technologies;
3. Language interference; the role of the native language in the process of foreign language education; Polish as a second, foreign or inherited language;
4. Contemporary directions of research on the lexis of the native language;
5. Contemporary directions of research on the grammatical system of the native language;
6. Native language in socio-cultural contexts;
7. Didactics of the Polish language; programs – textbooks – materials;
8. Native language in the realities of school and non-institutional education – practice, needs, perspectives;
9. L1 and the experience of migration – educating children and youth with a migration context in the Polish (native) educational system.

THE 1ST BIAŁYSTOK CONFERENCE ON THEORETICAL AND APPLIED LINGUISTICS
In recent years linguistic conferences organized by the Białystok circle of neophilologists have established a strong tradition in terms of providing a forum for the exchange of views on the nature of language. It all started almost fifteen years ago, in 2002. The main aim of the conferences was to provide a meeting ground for a wide range of scholars: linguists, literary scholars, foreign language teaching methodologists, to mention but a few groups of researchers participating in the events. The conferences explored the relationship between language, culture, and social interaction. They were often organized in co-operation with French language scholars.
Fourth International Communication Styles Conference
Communication Styles conference is the fourth in the series of biannual conferences which were initiated in 2013 and took place in Krosno in Poland. So far the conferences have a publication record with a collection of articles entitled Culture’s Software: Communication Styles (Cambridge Scholars 2015), a special issue of the Styles of Communication journal (9:1; 2017) and an issue of Tertium Linguistic Journal (3.1; 2018).
Digital Humanities 2020
The theme of the conference is “carrefours/intersections,” a place where paths cross. The theme recalls the geographical and cultural heritage of Ottawa, a bilingual city in unceded Algonquin territory. Three specific sub-disciplinary interests will guide our use of the theme: First Nations, Native American, and Indigenous Studies; public digital humanities; and the open data movement.
Language of the Third Millennium XIII: Language in the Face of Technology
The thirteenth edition of the conference “Language of the Third Millennium” seeks to bring together a wide range of academics to explore various dimensions of language in the face of technology. Diverse factors viewed as determining the use of language in the digital age – from multimodality, memetics, and asynchrony to artificial intelligence, algorithms, and fake news – have emerged as important topics in research and the media. Technological advancements have had a major impact on the ways and modes of communication, leading to fundamental changes at both the individual and the population level.
