About

 


The agriculture sector is an important sector for the nation in terms of ensuring food security as well as economic development. These are highlighted in the National Agro Food Policy (2011-2020). Sustainable agriculture practices will play a crucial role in dealing with the many problems currently faced globally such as food security (quality and quantity), environmental problems, climate change, ecosystem impacts and resource degradation, supply chain management and other related areas. Realizing that the importance of sustainable agriculture lies in dynamics of research, this symposium provides a platform for postgraduate students, who constitute the human capital of the future, to share their research activities, discuss and exchange ideas on current issues related to the sector and to form linkages which focus on the various clusters in the agriculture sector.

Universiti Malaysia Sabah and Kinki University of Japan initiated the annual seminar series in 2003. Named as "Annual Seminar on Marine Science and Aquaculture", these seminars have provided a platform to exchange knowledge about the marine ecosystem and development of aquatic food resources through sustainable fisheries and aquaculture.

Due to increasing number of participants and diverse backgrounds they come from, there is a need to bring the broader issues of global importance into the scope of discussion. This has motivated the transformation of annual seminar series into an international event. Henceforth, the International Seminar on Marine Science and Aquaculture will encompass a variety of perspectives that are rapidly shaping the research interest in marine environment and seafood resources.

The theme of the upcoming seminar schedule in 2013 will be "OCEAN HEALTH & OUR FUTURE". The seminar focus on topics that are thematic or technical in nature and will be open to those having profesional interest in this subject.

CALL FOR PAPERS

 

Introduction

Language plays a broad range of essential roles in society and institutions with diverse needs, aspirations, cultures, traditions, and practices while linguistics offers numerous approaches to the study of how communities, groups and individuals interact or communicate with one another. To promote the importance of language learning, facilitate our understanding of languages, and broaden our knowledge of linguistics, we are organising the International Conference on Languages, Linguistics and Society in Sabah, Malaysia, which is well known for its multi-ethnic and multi-cultural identity.

The upcoming conference will look into various issues of both global and local concerns especially in relation to the use and learning of different languages. This conference covers topics pertaining to applied linguistics and theoretical linguistics in various institutional, social, and cultural contexts. The conference also welcomes presentations based on studies conducted from inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary perspectives, involving research into language/s in different academic disciplines. We hope to provide an interesting platform for researchers, academics, instructors, language practitioners, policy makers, postgraduate candidates, and members of the public to share knowledge and engage in meaningful interactions.

 

Objectives

We aim to

  1. investigate, discuss, and exchange ideas related to the learning and/or use of language in institutional, social and/or cultural settings,
  2. explore the benefits of cross-disciplinary studies involving linguistics, and
  3. examine the theoretical and/or practicalimplications of new ideas, perspectives, theories, and recommendations concerning different approaches to language teaching and/or language analysis.
