International Conference on the Globalization of Second Language Acquisition and Teacher Education
October 30-31, 2017
Honolulu, Hawaii

As globalization advances and boundaries between countries fade away, the need to communicate in a second or multiple languages has altered the linguistic landscape. As a result, second language acquisition and foreign language teaching have progressed to the forefront of linguistics, providing a critical framework in understanding how language is acquired or learned and its pedagogical implications. Language today not only links nations but also empowers individuals toward greater upward mobility, all of which makes it an indispensable tool in modern society.

With the theme Breaking Barriers, the conference is an opportunity to share research, insights and techniques, and form professional networks in this burgeoning field of linguistics and education.
