The dynamics of language and society coupled with globalization and the rapid change of technology in Asia and across the world have generated a new era of language and teaching. Moreover, advanced technology via the Internet, iPad, iPhone, cloud computing, and other multi-media are shaping new perspectives in literacy research and language teaching.


With this in mind, LIROD 2012 serves as a platform for researchers, educators, industrial professionals and linguists from all over the world to exchange new ideas and applicable methodology face to face, and to present their research results and development activities in the field of language and teaching. This conference provides opportunities for scholars, educators, participants to establish research relations and to find global partners for future networking in language, education, society and technology.
