ACLL/ACTC 2012 Letter of Welcome
From the ACLL/ACTC 2012 Conference Chair

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the Second Asian Conference on Language Learningand the Second Asian Conference on Technology in the Classroom. A few minutes of thumbing
through the conference handbook (a work of art in and of itself) will allow you to see we are in for
two very packed days. IAFOR, the International Academic Forum, has once again done what it
does best—bring together academics, scholars and practitioners representing an exciting diversityof countries, cultures, and religion to exchange ideas and views in a forum encouraging respectful
dialogue.
With our dual conference themes (Globalization, Culture and Society: What role does language
play? / Learning, Culture and Society: What role can technology play?) we have a full slate ofpresentations that in addition to examining the affect language learning has on our cultures andsocieties, will also examine the role of technology and its impact on our classrooms.
In addition to the many varied parallel sessions scheduled, we have the privilege of listening to
two great keynotes starting with my colleague and good friend, Deryn Verity’s Beyond Borders:
Language Education and Identity and Barbara Lockee’s (a professor at one of my alma maters—
Go Tech!) Moving Forward through Looking Back: A Historical Analysis of Instructional
Technology for Language Learning. And we also have three featured speaker sessions by Marjo
Mitsutomi, Kuniko Miyanaga, and Jo Mynard to look forward to.
I also would like to welcome you to Osaka, one of Japan’s truly great cities and my home for thelast 17 years. Osaka is a city I really love for many reasons and so over the course of theconference I hope in addition to participating in some exciting academic exchanges, you will also
have the opportunity to sample some of the delicious cuisine available here, and possibly, evenvisit some famous sites such as Osaka Castle (a 20 minute subway ride from the Ramada Hotel) or
even take a side trip to Kyoto (35 minutes away).
ACLL 2012/ACTC 2012 affords us the opportunity for renewing old acquaintances, making new
contacts, and networking across higher education and beyond. I am excited that it is finally here;
let the conferencing begin!
Happy Conferencing!

ACLL/ACTC 2012 Letter of Welcome
From the Executive Director of IAFOR
Dear Delegates,
Welcome to the Second Annual Asian Conference on Language Learning, which is again to be held
this year alongside the Second Asian Conference on Technology in the Classroom. We are delighted toreport that the event has grown considerably since last year, when the March 2011 earthquake and its
aftermath notably affected international attendance, and are equally proud to contribute to, andparticipate in Japan’s recovery.
IAFOR conferences are interdisciplinary international conferences that invite academics, practitioners,
scholars and researchers from around the world to meet and exchange ideas. The programme for thisconference promises to be an exciting one, with thematic topics that address the central aim of theconference in different but complementary ways, including through papers that draw on empiricalresearch, that develop theoretical and conceptual insights, and that engage with pedagogy, and theexperiential. The conference will be enhanced through its wide variety of presenters, who will draw ontheir diverse experiences and knowledges and on their academic, personal and geographical contexts,
in a programme that promises stimulating and challenging discussion.
The ACLL conference theme of “Globalization, Culture and Society: What Role Does Language
Play?”, and the complimentary "Learning, Culture and Society: What role can technology play?" hasencouraged a diverse response across a number of academic disciplines. This year, 200 delegates from
more than 30 countries will come together for encounters and exchanges that are both scholarly andpersonal as they express differing points of view, challenge each other to think differently, and searchfor common ground. I have no doubt that we will all be able to use the time spent at this conference forintellectual discovery and for the development of collaborative links and connections between the
researchers, academics, scholars and practitioners who are attending. We have a lot to learn from eachother in this international academic forum.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our conference chair, Steve Cornwell, who has done somuch to ensure the success of this young event, and who gives up much of his year to help shape
IAFOR events. Also, thanks to our great line up of keynote and featured speakers: Deryn Verity,
Barbara Lockee, Kuniko Miyanaga, Marjo Mitsutomi, and Jo Mynard.
I would also like to thank Stuart Picken, chairman of the IAB, and Yoshiko Cornwell for her
willingness to help with myriad requests. Finally, my thanks to each and every delegate for taking thetime and making the effort to travel to Osaka. I hope you are rewarded by the conference, and by the
fantastic location. I look forward to meeting you all.
Warm Regards,
Dr Joseph Haldane,
Executive Director, IAFOR	  The Asian Conference on Language Learning 2012

IAFOR Academic Vision & Mission

The vision of iafor grew out of the perceived need to fill a vacuum in the communication and exchange activities of
the academic world. Its mission arose out of examining that space and investigating why it existed. The vacuum
existed because of the lack of opportunity for serious and thoughtful exchange between academics, members of the
global business community, and practitioners in the fields of human endeavor that linked these groups together. In
the field of education, for example, we have academic theorists, educational mangers (political decision-makers andorganizational directors) and classroom teachers with their support staff in IT, library work, exchange programs, andspecialist fields. But how often do they have the opportunity to interact?
Moving beyond one particular field, larger questions arise. What function should universities prioritize in the 21st
century? What do businesses see as their contribution to social and global well being? How can people on the
ground, trying to implement improvements that will transform human life, best be supported? And perhaps above
all, what are the agendas that will drive mechanisms to enable these groups to interact effectively.
One piece of distilled thought that came from early exchanges at an iafor conference was the recognition that someof the rhetoric of concern about the problems of developing nations was perhaps over-focused on the term "poverty"
because it can be defined only in a relative way. "Hunger" was put forward as being more immediate and itself acontributory factor to poverty, rather than the other way round. One key to the hunger issue could be the provisionof safe drinking water, or water for irrigation in some contexts, while flood management might be necessary
elsewhere. These, in and by themselves become valuable only insofar as they help to relieve hunger in specificcontexts.
iafor is affording opportunities that do not exist elsewhere. The base is Osaka, Japan's great commercial andmanufacturing hub, one symbol of the emerging Pacific economy that in time will eclipse the long dominantAtlantic zone. iafor conferences present those taking part with three unique dimensions of experience. First of all, it
encourages interdisciplinary activity to be expanded. Depending on the field, this can face varying degrees ofdifficulty, ranging from discouragement to downright prohibition. Those overly dependent on fixed academic
structures often see lateral thinking as a threat. None of these negatives apply in iafor. Its purpose is to generate new
approaches that cross any disciplinary lines. The principle employed is to let the imagination permit intuitive
responses to questions. There are no panels of critics. There are simply people who want to listen and reflect. The
model of academic work as potholing is replaced by the metaphor of mountaineering. While respecting the need forsolid and well-founded academic work, we feel the need to go beyond it from time to time to discover fresh
approaches to old questions.
Secondly, it facilitates the heightening of intercultural awareness. Again, iafor encourages innovation through crosscultural perception. Cultural roots influence people in their attitudes more than most would realize or admit. The
need to see and internalize insights gained from other viewpoints is met by a process of steady illumination.
Thirdly, it promotes the broadening of international exchange. We may live in a globalized world, but in reality
parochialism still holds sway. The collapse of the U.S.S.R and the break-up of Yugoslavia led to the reestablishment of numerous former countries. While this may be desirable for the peoples concerned, it merely adds
to the world's cultural confusion. Exchange leads to explanation and that helps the growth of intercultural awareness.
iafor makes all of these developments possible in one gathering. An iafor conference is not a substitute for specialist
conferences. It is intended to be an alternative that functions as a balance or even a corrective to the extreme
tendencies that can arise from more narrowly defined research parameters. In short, iafor is promoting andfacilitating a new multifaceted approach to one of the core issues of our time, namely globalization and its many
forms of growth and expansion. Awareness of how it cuts across the worlds of business, and academia, along with
its impact on societies and institutions is one of the driving forces that has given iafor its momentum and is making
it a pioneer in this global age.
