2025 9th Joint Conference of the Korean Speech-Language and Hearing Association & Korean Academy of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology

On Saturday, November 8, the 9th Joint Conference of the Korean Association of Speech-Language Therapy and the Korean Academy of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology was held at BEXCO, Busan. This year’s conference brought together a large number of undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and professors from across the field of speech-language pathology in Korea.

It served as a meaningful platform for participants to share the research they had conducted throughout the year and to engage in active academic exchange. A total of 17 doctoral and master’s students from NABLe attended the conference, submitting 8 abstracts. Among these, 2 were selected for oral presentations and 6 for poster presentations. We are especially proud to share that three of our teams received Outstanding Presentation Awards: In the Oral Presentation category: Neurogenic Language Disorders (Junyoung Shin et al.) Articulation/Phonological Disorders and Hearing Disorders (Jiseong Kim et al.) In the Poster Presentation category: AI and Digital Literacy (Yae Rin Yoo et al.)

These achievements, with three teams from our lab recognized at a single conference, reaffirm the academic excellence and innovative contributions of NABLe’s ongoing research. We are incredibly proud of our team and look forward to seeing each member continue to pursue impactful research in their areas of interest in preparation for next year’s conference.

11월 8일(토), 부산 벡스코(BEXCO)에서 2025년 제9회 한국언어치료학회·한국언어청각임상학회 공동학술대회가 개최되었습니다. 올해 학술대회에도 국내 언어병리학계의 학부생·대학원생·연구자·교수들이 대거 참여하여, 한 해 동안 수행한 연구들을 공유하고 활발하게 교류하는 뜻깊은 시간을 가졌습니다.

저희 연구실에서는 총 17명의 박사 및 석사 과정 선생님들이 참석하여 8편의 초록을 제출, 이 중 2편의 구두발표와 6편의 포스터발표를 진행하였습니다. 특히 매우 영광스럽게도, 구두발표 부문에서 신경언어장애 영역(신준영 외)과 조음·음운장애/청각장애 영역(김지성 외) 발표가 모두 우수논문상을 수상하였고, 포스터발표 부문에서도 AI 및 디지털 리터러시 영역(유예린 외)이 우수논문상을 수상하는 쾌거를 이루었습니다!

한 학회에서 연구실 소속 세 팀이 수상하는 큰 성과를 보며, 저희 연구실이 수행하고 있는 연구의 선진성과 학문적 기여도를 다시금 확인할 수 있는 매우 자랑스러운 순간이었습니다. 앞으로도 내년 학술대회까지 각 선생님들께서 자신의 관심 분야를 기반으로 활발하고 다양한 연구를 이어가시기를 기대합니다.
