Conference Theme:

Our conference theme is Collaborating and sharing knowledge. Therefore, our
conference focuses on how, through collaborating to share knowledge,
experience and skills, we can all gain and grow in many ways.

Presentation Formats:

Paper presentation - 25 minutes (20 minute presentation, 5 minute questions):

This is a lecture style presentation which may be supported with visual
material, demonstrations and handouts. Paper presentations will be allocated
20 minutes plus 5 minutes for questions and answers. These presentations will
occur in concurrent streams.

Colloquia - 2 hours (3 contributors + a discussant):

Colloquia provide an opportunity for several presenters with a related theme
or topic to present together in a supportive environment. Colloquia organisers
may divide the time slot they are allotted as they choose but time should be
allocated for opening and closing remarks, presentations, and audience
interaction. It is the responsibility of the symposium chair to organise their
group.

All colloquia submissions must be uploaded to the submission site using the
Colloquia submission form template provided on the conference website.

Posters:

Posters are for one-on-one discussion of a conference-related theme or topic.
They are especially effective for information that can be presented visually
(e.g. photos, charts, graphs, tables). There will be a block of time allocated
when presenters will be available to discuss their posters, and posters will
be displayed in the trade exhibition/catering area. Presenters are encouraged
to consider posters because of the opportunity they provide for the inclusion
of more presenters and for extended discussion with other teachers and
researchers. You will be assigned a space to display your poster which will
fit one A0 size sheet.

Our conference seeks ways to facilitate conversations between Language for
Specific Purposes and Professional Communication scholars and practitioners
from the Asia-Pacific region and further afield, and to encourage learning
through mutual collaboration between all of us.
