13-14 March 2008

Language and society are dependent on each other. People cannot learn a language without learning about a society. Both are dynamic. When our society has changed, we can also observe the change in our language. The study of language and society, being closely inter-linked, will benefit from interdisciplinary collaboration. Research in the field has been conducted to give insights of how language and society are intermingled.

Under the theme "Coping with Changes in a Multicultural Society: New Challenges and Innovations in Language, Education, and Social Studies", the 2nd Language in the Realm of Social Dynamics International Conference will feature a variety of presentations and discussions about current research focusing on  challenges and innovations in language, education, and social studies, particularly in a multicultural setting.
