Meeting Description: 

The Malaysian Association of Applied Linguistics International Conference
(MAALIC) is a biennial conference organised by the Malaysian Association of
Applied Linguistics (MAAL) and supported by various institutions and
organisations. The 2nd MAALIC 2021 will be a virtual conference due to the
current pandemic situation. The conference theme is Applied Linguistics
Research and Practices in a VUCA World: Embracing Digitalisation, Challenges
and New Norms. MAALIC 2021 will represent an excellent opportunity to meet
experts in various areas of Applied Linguistics including interdisciplinary
studies. MAAL continues to support the SDGs. 

The COVID-19 pandemic is one manifestation of the volatile, uncertain, complex
and ambiguous (VUCA) world we live in. Despite strenuous efforts to encourage
sustainable practices, we can never predict what lurks around the corner.
Repeated systemic crises are inevitable if we are unable to transform from
fragile into more sustainable and resilient economies and societies. What is
the role of education to address the challenges faced by the global
communities today?

Inspired by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) introduced in 2015, this
conference aims to explore how SDG 4: Quality Education could play a catalytic
role to achieve the objectives of the other SDGs. Specifically, what is the
role of applied linguistics, as part of the greater quality education agenda,
in addressing the issues of poverty, hunger, lack of inclusivity, inequality?
How does or could applied linguistics promote good health and well-being,
responsible consumption, care for life on land, and under water and greater
gender equality? How could the field of applied linguistics advocate peace,
justice and strong institutions and encourage cooperation to strengthen
partnerships to achieve the SDGs? These are but some of the areas which will
be deliberated upon in this ambitious conference.

Language and linguistics play central roles in our daily lives. It could build
or destroy a family, a community or a nation. This conference aims to showcase
how applied linguistics and its sub-fields interpret the events which unravel
in our VUCA world, as well as share insights on how applied linguistics can be
used as a tool to provide solutions for a more sustainable world. We
anticipate lively exchange of ideas on how language and communication in a
multiplicity of languages and settings can help us brave the current bleak
global landscape to move forward confidently to embrace new norms.
