Meeting Description:

4th Annual Roundtable of Language and Society Centre
Monash University, Melbourne

Globalization continues to bring people from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds together, to live and to work, at an unprecedented speed. This phenomenon had given rise to a significant increase in and a demand for the learning and use of languages for international/intercultural communication. Teaching and learning languages for international communication involve issues that may have until recently been irrelevant within the context of teaching/learning and using 'foreign' languages. For example, there have been vigorous debates about the 'ownership' of an international language, in particular in reference to the ownership of English as an international language. In the context of pedagogy of languages that are used for international communication, issues such as the native/non-native divide and the use of a teaching 'model' have been subjects of much controversy and debate. 

The 4th Annual Roundtable of Language and Society Centre (LASC) will provide an opportunity for researchers working in areas related to the teaching and learning of languages for international/intercultural communication to share their research with each other.

Confirmed Keynote Speaker: 

Professor Sandra McKay, San Francisco State University
