The conference theme celebrates the unique position of the Asia-Pacific region in the field of applied linguistics. It offers an opportunity to explore both familiar and new contexts of applied linguistic research. Participants will engage in discussions about the interconnectedness within the region and foster collaboration among applied linguists. Join us in Wellington/Te Whanga-nui-a-Tara as we shape common narratives for applied linguistics across borders.
