Meeting Description:

The Centre for Language Studies (CLS) of the National University of Singapore
(NUS) organises a biennial international conference on foreign language
teaching and learning. 

The conference aims at bringing together academics, researchers and
professionals from Asia and beyond for a productive and rewarding exchange of
insights, experiences, views and perspectives on current and future
developments in foreign language teaching and learning. The last six CLaSICs
have met with resounding success, attracting participants from all over the
world.

In the current educational landscape, learning has become a multifaceted
experience that transcends spatial, temporal and cultural barriers. At many
centers of foreign language learning, educators have similarly been seeking to
push the boundaries of teaching and learning space to beyond the traditional
confines of the school and the classroom. Learning activities and interactions
are today often a combination of synchronous and asynchronous experiences,
including various forms of onsite and offsite curricular activities, and
virtual interactions in the digital world. Furthermore, learning is no longer
restricted to print materials, as ubiquitous computing has enabled easy and
immediate access to seemingly limitless electronic resources for foreign
language teaching and learning. 

Acknowledging such trends in foreign language education, our conference theme
invokes the term ‘ubiquity’ to refer to a seamless continuum of learning
experiences across formal and informal learning situations, as well as
technology and non-technology based learning interactions in and beyond the
classroom. CLaSIC 2016 provides a platform for researchers, scholars and
practitioners in foreign language education for an invigorating discourse on
theoretical conceptions and approaches, research insights, and practical
experiences from the various sub-fields and sub-themes listed below, as they
pertain to teaching and learning in the ubiquitous age.
