International Conference on Foreign Language Learning and Teaching

16-17 October 2009

Asia Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand.



The Language Institute of Thammasat University will host its first
conference on foreign language learning and teaching on October 16 and
17, 2009 at the Asia Hotel Bangkok, Thailand. The conference intends
to provide a forum for academics in the fields of foreign language
learning and teaching to report theoretical and empirical developments
in their areas of specialty and to exchange ideas through paper
presentations. The conference aims particularly to promote
collaboration between researchers in foreign language learning and
classroom practitioners, both of whom can significantly inform and
enrich each other through dissemination of their research findings.



Invitation to submit:



Papers from all theoretical frameworks are welcome. The language for
paper and poster presentations is English. Abstracts will be reviewed
for clarity of the theoretical framework and methodology, originality
and significance, and overall presentation and organization. Each
paper is allotted 20 minutes for the oral presentation and 10 minutes
for questions. For posters, please consult the guidelines for poster
