The Science and Art of Language in Teaching International Conference

Bayview Beach Resort
Pulau Pinang
Malaysia

The Science and Art of Language in Teaching International Conference is a platform to 
bring together local and international academicians, educators, planners and teaching 
professionals to exchange views and insights on current practices and future directions on 
the science and art of language in teaching. It will be the stage for discussions in the 
areas of language, content, information and communication technology, curricula and 
materials design, testing and evaluation, and translation in teaching language courses as 
well as teaching content courses in another language. Attendees will have excellent 
opportunities to meet colleagues from Malaysia and from other parts of the world during 
the Conference. The papers accepted and presented at the Conference will be collected for 
formal publication.



We are actively seeking papers, short communications, interactive posters, workshops and 
tutorials to address the interests and needs of participants at a variety of levels. We 
would like to "tap into your talent" and encourage you to share your experience, knowledge 
and information with your colleagues at the Conference. 

We invite proposals within the Conference Theme Areas with a strong focus in this year's 
conference theme in the following categories:

Papers
A paper is normally a report of a finished or near finished research study and the 
original work of the author(s) proposing. Papers can take two major forms: Reports of 
empirical investigations, or reports that are not based on empirical research.

Short Communications
Short communications (Short Papers) are suitable for reports that do not fully meet the 
requirements for published papers.

Interactive Posters
Posters, as an alternative to short communications, are also suitable for reports that do 
not fully meet the requirements for published papers.

Workshops
A workshop should provide reflective and/or practical, hands-on learning experience for 
professional development. Workshops involve the actual doing of a task, or series of 
tasks.

Tutorials
Presenters are expected to clearly demonstrate good practice or innovative materials 
design. The presenter can demonstrate a project or practical language teaching or content 
teaching idea that the participants can make and take with them.
