Scope and Goals:
The process of globalization has begun as a result of the unprecedented development of communication and transportation systems during the last half-century. It has become a worldwide phenomenon, fostering diplomatic, economic, commercial, social, educational, and cultural interactions among countries around the world. As a result of this ongoing process of globalization, the interaction between people has increased at the state, institutional, and individual levels. This has led to an increased interest in geography, demography, economy, natural resources, politics, society, education, and culture of other countries. To understand other countries, it is necessary to know their language. Likewise, to establish diplomatic relations with other countries. Thus, knowledge of other countries and competence in foreign languages has emerged as a new field of study in academia, giving rise to disciplines such as foreign studies and foreign language studies.
In light of this context, the Institute of Modern Languages, University of Dhaka, as a center of foreign studies and foreign language studies, is going to organize a Foreign Language and Culture Conference-2023 to promote foreign studies and foreign language research.
