The International Symposium on Bilingualism (ISB 16), to be held in Saskatoon, Canada, on June 14-18, 2027, is pleased to announce the first Call for Individual Presentations Proposals (an abstract of a presentation that can be single-authored or co-authored). The theme of ISB 16 is “Languages in Academia and in Communities”. ISB is the leading international conference in the field of bi/multilingualism. The five-day program will cover a broad range of topics, including bilingual communication, language and cognition, child language development, language education, health communication, heritage and immigrant languages, Indigenous languages, translation and interpreting, neurolinguistics, minority and regional languages, psycholinguistics, and sociolinguistics.

Submission deadline: , 2026

All abstract submissions should be anonymous. Please remove any information from the body of your abstract that could identify its author(s). Sufficient detail on the theory, the research methods and results should be provided to enable reviewers to evaluate the scholarly merit of the proposal. Abstracts, including references, must not exceed 400 words. References, if included, should be formatted in APA 7th style. Each individual may submit a maximum of three individual proposals as the first (or sole) author. There is no limit on the number of co-authored presentations, provided that the individual is not the first author.

The available presentation formats are: an oral presentation (20 min with Q/A) and a poster (printed). To accommodate participants who may require a visa to enter Canada but are unable to obtain it on time, a limited number (50) of online presentation slots will also be available.

Proposals should be uploaded through the ISB 16 individual submission portal Oxford Abstracts (you need to create a profile first) by , 2026.
