Meeting Description:
The conference will bring together scholars
from across the globe to the beautiful,
historic city of Graz, Austria’s second largest
city, located in the south of the country.
The conference aims to generate new insights
into the role of psychology in language
learning and teaching. It will cover a wide
range of topics including autonomy, beliefs,
emotions, goal setting, group dynamics,
motivation, the self, strategies,
metacognition, willingness to communicate,
individual differences, among others. A
particular goal of the conference is to bring
together different branches in this vibrant
field and explore interconnections and
potential for cooperation.
‘Matters of the Mind’ promises a unique
opportunity to hear from leading international
scholars, learn about the latest developments
in research, and meet with researchers from
around the world in a magnificent setting. In
addition to a packed and challenging conference
programme, a range of special events and
activities offer the chance to relax while you
get to know your colleagues and this beautiful,
relatively undiscovered part of the world.
We hope you will join us and the outstanding
line up of speakers for what promises to be an
exciting and challenging conference in this
dynamic field of foreign language learning and
teaching.
