International Conference on
Foreign Languages and Translation
(Nov 27, 2020, in NKUST)
An Interdisciplinary Study of Foreign Languages and Translation: Transformation and Relocation
Call for Papers
After the merger of three universities, National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology (NKUST) was established on February 2018, and College of Foreign Languages started to move into a new milestone. To engage our college teachers in academic dialogues with scholars, researchers, educators and practitioners from other universities and industries, we organize this conference on “Interdisciplinary Study of Foreign Languages and Translation: Transformation and Relocation.” We hope that this conference can open up an avenue to brainstorm brilliant ideas and generate excellent academic research output.
CONFERENCE THEMES
In the era of globalization and multiculturalism, the division point between local and global communities is phasing out. The sectors of various industries are undertaking a transformation in operation and features.
In light of this shifting landscape of industries, educational and academic communities are encouraged to reflect on the methods of reform, innovation, and re-explore how to relocate the positioning of teaching, research of foreign languages and translation. We thus provide a platform and invite all participants to re-examine the issues of research, teaching and application of foreign languages and translation, from the interdisciplinary perspectives of connections with industries, relevance to cultures, and collaboration with technologies.
Participants are invited to submit papers that fall into the area of “foreign languages and translation”.
The topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
1. Interdisciplinary integration of theory and practice in the teaching of foreign languages.
2. Interdisciplinary integration of theory and practice in the teaching of translation.
3. Interdisciplinary dialogues between culture and application of foreign languages.
4. Interdisciplinary dialogues between culture and application of translation.
5. Interdisciplinary connections between industry and teaching of foreign languages.
6. Interdisciplinary connections between industry and translation teaching.
