Following the success of the first conference on interdisciplinary approaches to language learning and teaching in 2012, and having realized the necessity to address a wider scope of inquiry, the Department of English Language and Literature at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad decided to organize the 2nd Conference on Interdisciplinary Approaches to Language Teaching, Literature and Translation Studies (LTLTS2-IA). The two-day event was scheduled to be held on Tuesday and Wednesday, 6-7 October 2015 at Faculty of Letters and Humanities, FUM. Cross-cultural use of language in multimodal forms is a dynamic phenomenon which involves diverse challenges in relation to various environments. As traditionally-envisioned scholarly boundaries do not seem to fully serve the present-day requirements, the principal aim of this conference was to promote interdisciplinary research activities by encouraging prospective participants to move beyond discipline-specific approaches and take advantage of methodological and conceptual frameworks which could help facilitate addressing common problems. LTLTS2-IA welcomed contributions which were inspired by interdisciplinarity and had employed frameworks and approaches of two or more disciplines and had modified them so that they were better suited to certain language-related problems. This event had the privilege of receiving an overwhelming number of presentation proposals from scholars from a wide spectrum of disciplines both in English and Persian. Having regrettably the limitation of accepting less than twenty percent of the proposals, the conference had the opportunity to review and select from among the contributions of scholars from varied fields of study and academic backgrounds such as political sciences, futures studies, psychology, area studies, information sciences, medicine, history, management, as well as more expected fields like literature, linguistics, education, translation and intercultural studies. As the abstracts in the book show, the research reports cover a wide spectrum of diverse problems across one or several languages including Persian, Arabic, Armenian, Urdu, German, French, and English. In addition, the event witnessed interesting research which resulted from the collaboration of junior and senior scholars from different fields on a common problem.
