Call Deadline: May 31, 2009

 

The Language Institute of Thammasat University will host its first conference on foreign language learning and teaching on October 16 and 17, 2009 at the Asia Hotel Bangkok, Thailand. The conference intends to provide a forum for academics in the fields of foreign language learning and teaching to report theoretical and empirical developments in their areas of specialty and to exchange ideas through paper presentations. The conference aims particularly to promote collaboration between researchers in foreign language learning and classroom practitioners, both of whom can significantly inform and enrich each other through dissemination of their research findings. 

 

Invitation to submit:

 Papers from all theoretical frameworks are welcome. The language for paper and poster presentations is English. Abstracts will be reviewed for clarity of the theoretical framework and methodology, originality and significance, and overall presentation and organization. Each paper is allotted 20 minutes for the oral presentation and 10 minutes for questions. For posters, please consult the guidelines for poster submission.
