🎬✨ Highlights of the Focus Group Discussion | TALS

Some dialogues don't just fill a room — they spark a revolution in thought.

The Applied Linguistics Society (TALS) proudly presents the cinematic highlights of our Focus Group Discussion held in BS-IV Applied Linguistics on the thought-provoking theme:

💬 "Democratisation or Corruption of English: Analysing how the growth of Englishes online or in media platforms affects English offline"

This session was a space where students didn't just learn — they questioned, challenged, and led the conversation on one of the most pressing issues in language today.

🌟 A special note of gratitude to Dr. Sumera Umrani, whose invaluable supervision, guidance, and vision shaped the depth and direction of this discussion. Her dedication to nurturing critical academic thought continues to inspire every member of TALS. 🙏

The Applied Linguistics Society (TALS) successfully hosted its first insightful session of 2026, and what a remarkable start it was!

We were honoured to have Professor Dr Tariq Umrani lead an engaging discussion with students from all four batches. The session, themed around empowering young minds and shaping future linguistic leaders, explored the vital role of language in real-world contexts. From innovative teaching methods and communication strategies to language policies and speech therapy, Dr Umrani encouraged students to think and work beyond conventional boundaries.

A heartfelt thanks to Prof Dr Tariq Umrani for his invaluable time and for sharing his wealth of experience with our students. The enthusiasm and engagement from everyone present reaffirm the growing scope and critical importance of applied linguistics today.

This year’s International Mother Language Day highlights the role of young people in shaping the future of multilingual education. Youth voices on multilingual education emphasise that language is more than a means of communication: it is central to identity, learning, well-being and participation in society. The celebration underscores the importance of education systems that recognise and value every learner’s language to support inclusion and learning outcomes.
