Epistemologies of the south, interculturality, diversities, and education in bi/pluri/multilingual contexts
This axis addresses critical or decolonial perspectives on language and culture contact. It includes multiple diversities in educational, socio-cultural, political, and ethnic contexts, as well as the development and evaluation of intercultural communication skills, pluralistic and inclusive didactic and curricular approaches to literature and interculturality.
This axis includes theoretical and practical discussion on digital communication, telecollaboration, and artificial intelligence in language teaching and research within intercultural contact situations –both face-to-face and virtual. It also addresses ethical challenges related to new technologies and IA integration in education and research.
Translation, interpretation, guide-interpretation, and terminology from Global South intercultural and interlinguistic perspectives
