We are pleased to announce the eighth edition of TechLING, which will be held online from Besançon.
This international conference aims to explore the intersection of languages, arts, and innovative technologies, with a particular focus on inclusion and accessibility. Generative artificial intelligence will play a central role in this edition, highlighting its potential for personalized learning, intercultural communication, and digital creation. The conference will examine how these technologies can facilitate knowledge access, foster skill development, and enhance collaboration between humans and intelligent systems.
Since its inception in 2016, TechLing has brought together an international and interdisciplinary community of researchers, educators, students, technologists, and artists dedicated to exploring the synergies between linguistics, digital humanities, and artificial intelligence.
This eighth edition of techLING is structured around three main areas:
Track 1. Language Teaching and Inclusive Pedagogies in the Digital Age
Track 2. Language Technoogies, AI and Multilingual Accessibility
Tracks 3. Digital Arts, Multimodal Creation and Cultural Inclusion
A Congress designed to convene language and technology to innovate.
