Call for Papers:

The Asian Conference on Language (ACL) is an interdisciplinary conference that
explores the many fields, theories and practices of the study of language,
from questions of language acquisition, psychology and linguistics, through
those of culture, communication, and technology, to the teaching and learning
of language.

In its written and spoken forms language dominates and shapes our lives. Far
from just being the tool of communication, language can be beautiful or ugly,
sparse and succinct, or overblown, technocratic; direct or obfuscatory; it can
be mediocre, lazy, hurtful, spiteful, libellous, slanderous, or false, but it
can also be uplifting, joyous, salutary, truthful, and even divine. Language
brings us our first and last words, and accompanies our journeys, helping us
to formulate concepts, sentences, and lives, and helps us negotiate meanings,
ideas, and each other.

The study of language and languages is an immense opportunity to engage with
international, intercultural, and interdisciplinary content and issues that
lie at the heart of the IAFOR mission. Since its founding in 2009, IAFOR has
brought people and ideas together in a variety of events and platforms to
promote and celebrate interdisciplinary study, and underline its importance.
Over the past year we have engaged in many cross-sectoral projects, including
those with universities (the University of Barcelona, Hofstra University, UCL,
University of Belgrade, Moscow State University and Virginia Tech), think
tanks/research centers (the East-West Center, APHERP, The Center for Higher
Education Research), as well as collaborative projects with the United Nations
in New York, and here in Tokyo, with the Government of Japan through the Prime
Minister's office.

With the IAFOR Research Centre at Osaka University's Osaka School of
International Public Policy (OSIPP), we have engaged in a number of
interdisciplinary initiatives we believe will have an important impact on
domestic and international public policy conversations. It is through
conferences like these that we expand our network and partners, and we have no
doubt that ACL will offer a remarkable opportunity for the sharing of research
and best practice, and for the meeting of people and ideas.

At the intersection of theory, pedagogy, and praxis the Asian Conference on
Language invites researchers and teachers to submit proposals in the following
areas:

– Language Acquisition
– Language and Communication
– Language and Culture
– Language and Psychology
– Language and Technology
– Language Learning and Teaching
– Linguistics

We look forward to meeting you in Tokyo!
