The IV TROPO UK Conference, hosted in collaboration with the University of Southampton, represents a premier gathering for the Languages, Linguistics, and Area Studies community. This biennial event serves as a critical platform for educators, researchers, and practitioners to explore the evolving landscape of language education. The 2026 edition focuses specifically on the theme: "Learning, ethics, and critical thinking in times of digital technologies and AI."
As artificial intelligence continues to reshape the educational sector, this conference investigates how these tools transform authorship, knowledge production, and traditional assessment methods. Participants will engage in a series of peer-reviewed presentations, keynote speeches, and interactive panel discussions designed to foster collective reflection on teaching Portuguese and other modern languages.
The program covers a broad spectrum of educational contexts, from pre-school and heritage language learning to higher education and professional training. Attendees will explore the technological mediation of learning, seeking to answer fundamental questions about how to maintain ethical standards and critical awareness in an increasingly automated world. Beyond the technical sessions, the event offers extensive networking opportunities, allowing delegates to build international partnerships and share pedagogical innovations. Whether you are interested in the sociolinguistic impacts of AI or practical classroom strategies for digital literacy, this conference provides the comprehensive insights needed to navigate the future of linguistics and area studies.
