How do we act with language? How does language determine our actions?  

To discuss these fundamental – but frequently disregarded – issues,

DO JOIN US at the 2025 – LIVE – conference devoted to the PSYCHOMOTOR/PRAGMATIC side of language and of linguistic education!

In order for the event to be possibly comprehensive, its scope will range from concepts to sciences. Such broadening of perspective we intend to achieve by orienting the event around four (increasingly wider) modules reflecting 4 major aims:

Major objective Module Exemplary problems
to discuss different perspectives on the link between language and actions (language OF actions, language VS. actions, actions THROUGH language, actions-oriented language, etc.) CONNECTIONS

 What is first – language or actions?

How do language and actions affect each other?
to address the language-and-actions link on the level of (complex) personal identities/structures, educational systems, societies and cultures SYSTEMS

 What characterises the language of particular people, societies, educational systems?

How much and in what way is language employed across different school subjects?
to consider how the psychomotor component of language determines what we THINK OF language (beliefs), how we feel ABOUT language (affect), and how we understand the world THROUGH language (cognition) DOMAINS

 How do our linguistic actions relate to our beliefs, emotions/feelings, and thoughts?

What specific linguistic actions are valued, practised, and reflected upon?
to share how various disciplines contribute to our understanding of the language-and-actions  and to embark on interdisciplinary studies not undertaken earlier in the field DISCIPLINES

 Which theories address the psychomotor dimension of language learning/teaching and use?

What language learning/teaching methods are most conducive to overall development?
