The Center for Languages & Intercultural Communication at Rice University

''Diversity across settings of language use & learning: Identity, culture, and

The 5th Annual CLIC Conference focuses on the description, analysis and
development of a multidimensional definition of language and language
acquisition shaped by the diversity of social settings in which language is
used. We further focus on the various aspects of diversity prompted by
bilingual, multilingual and translingual interactions happening in a variety
of environments such as: classroom and study abroad educational settings,
workplace and office communication, personal interactions and internet-based
communication through social media and related technologies.

The invited plenary speakers are Dr. Patricia Duff (the University of British
Columbia, Canada), Dr. Meredith Marra (Victoria University Wellington, New
Zealand), and Amelia Tseng (American University, USA).
