the growth of academic literacy and professional communication as areas of
research. The theme for the 2020 conference is: Sustainable Communication and
Academic Literacy Skills: Global Realities and Implications for Education,
Policy and Practice. As the sub-themes for this conference depict, Academic
Literacy and Professional Communication are key areas of research across a
wide range of disciplines, both academic and industry. Thus, the 5th
International Conference in Academic and Professional Communication provides a
platform for researchers, educators, scholars, students, and industry
professionals and practitioners from across the world to share their
perspectives and findings. Furthermore, the conference is a forum for
participants to engage in dialogue and in the process foster research
partnerships and collaborations with peers.
