International Academic Conference on Language

Learning and related fields of study. Conference

Theme: Connecting Theory and Practice

Conference Chair: Professor Steve Cornwell, Osaka

Jogakuin College

The deadline for abstracts/proposals is 1 April 2011.

Learning a language is something all of us have done

with many having learned a second, third, or even

fourth language; however, achieving proficiency in

a foreign language is not something that can be

taken for granted. Instead it is a challenge, and

one that language educators are constantly

grappling with, as we work to improve our craft

and to help our students learn more effectively.

As language professionals, we are scholars and

practitioners, and yet as educators we know that

integrating the latest in theory to compliment

what we do in practice can be a struggle. However

the rewards for both the teacher and the student

are very high and we are lucky within the field of

language learning to have strong outlets where we

can learn from each other.

The aim of this International Conference is to

encourage academics, scholars and practitioners

representing a exciting diversity of countries,

cultures, and religions to meet and exchange ideas

and views in a forum encouraging respectful

dialogue. By bringing together a number of

university scholars working throughout Japan,

Asia, and beyond to share ideas, ACCL 2011 will

afford the opportunity for renewing old

acquaintances, making new contacts, and networking

across higher education and beyond.

We hope you can join us in Osaka in 2011!
