IALIC 2021

The International Association for Languages and Intercultural Communication (IALIC)

IALIC is an Association that seeks to bring together international scholars and practitioners from a broad range of disciplinary backgrounds, among which are anthropology, sociolinguistics, psychology, education, literary studies, management and organisation studies, as well as linguistics and applied linguistics. IALIC is committed to:

• creating the conditions for a body of intellectual enquiry which intersects consciously, critically, and reflectively with other disciplines;
• representing the living reality of experiences of increased mobility and intercultural communication, as well as address the professional concerns brought about by the diversity of the research and the teaching of living languages;
• promoting in theory and practice greater intercultural understanding and, thereby, address the causes and the consequences of culture, all types of intolerance, social injustice, exclusion and inequalities.
