Meeting Description: The topic of the 2016 symposium is the interface<br>
between language and migration and how the language situation, planning and policies in various countries, Asia in particular, are managed as a result of in-migration or out-migration. As the world refugee crisis intensifies discussion has reopened on issues concerning the role of language in international migration: language and new citizenship, language proficiency policies and requirements, migration to countries of language proximity, language change, terminologies (e.g. migrant vs refugee), language loss and maintenance, how language shapes or influences migration. Within this general theme, language and migration will be explored in its pedagogical, historical, and social frameworks.<br>
<br>
The symposium is organized by the Linguapax Asia Committee. Linguapax Asia works in partnership with the Linguapax Institute, a non- governmental organization affiliated with UNESCO and located in Barcelona, Spain. The Asian associate of the Linguapax Institute, Linguapax Asia carries out the objectives of both the Linguapax Institute and UNESCO's Linguapax Project with a special focus on Asia and the Pacific rim.
