About Conference

Cross cultural sensitivity in foreign language teaching-learning

In the language teaching/learning domain, the importance of cross-cultural sensitivity is evident. In modern classrooms, we not only talk about the culture of the target language but also teach, compare and integrate the elements of intercultural studies as well.

All these intercultural aspects are visible through the use of language, study of literature and society in foreign language teaching methodologies.

Objective of the Conference

  • To provide a common platform to all the foreign language academicians, teachers, language professionals, research scholars to share their ideas on cross cultural studies in foreign languages.

  • To exchange ideas and learn from the experts from different institutions.
