This is the second conference that is organized under the auspices of Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching (https://pressto.amu.edu.pl/index.php/ssllt), one of the leading journals in the field of linguistics and education. The main aim of the event is to showcase the latest theoretical proposals and empirical findings related to second language learning and teaching in a variety of educational contexts and at different educational levels, with a particular emphasis on new challenges that researchers and practitioners are currently confronted with.
