About CLaSIC
CLaSIC is a biennial conference, organized by the Centre for Language Studies (CLS)
of the National University of Singapore (NUS), aims to bring together academics,
researchers and professionals from Asia and beyond for a productive and rewarding
exchange of insights, experiences, views and perspectives on current and future
developments in foreign language teaching and learning. The conference serves a
platform for participants to report on current research and practices in foreign
language education and related disciplines. It will also provide an avenue for the
discussion and critical examination of new and innovative concepts and approaches
expected to have an impact on future practices.
The inaugural CLaSIC was held in December 2004 at the National University of
Singapore and was a resounding success. The second and third CLaSIC in December 2006
and December 2008 respectively echoed the success of the first with around 180
participants from all over the world.
Feedback on the last three conferences:
- The committee has done a fantastic job and I've found all staff very helpful and
generous. I particularly enjoyed the different areas covered in the parallel
sessions from Teacher Education to ESL, or EFL plus the CALL component, very useful
and enriching. (CLaSIC 2004)
- I truly enjoyed the sociability of this conference the chance to interact with a
wide variety of professionals from diverse locations addressing different conditions
& language. This diversity is one of the most attractive featured of CLaSIC, and
will encourage me to return. (CLaSIC 2006)
- The conference organisation has been excellent, the support staff charming and
helpful. (CLaSIC 2008)
- Congratulation on a brilliant conference. The ANU/NUS symposium was very
stimulating and we have made great contacts. (CLaSIC 2008)
