AsiaCALL2011 - November 18 - 20 2011 - The Call for papers closes on September 1
Preparations for AsiaCALL2011 are in full swing and papers are continuing to arrive on a daily basis. it is really wonderful to see the range of proposals and to find both new names and familiar names. It also looks as though we will be attracting people from more countries than ever before, from literally all four corners of the world.
So... if you still have not submitted an abstract, please do so now. Time is running out! You have until September 1.
And remember that the conference will be in the tourist centre of Bangkok in wonderful weather and at really exceptional value for accommodation and conference costing.

While we are looking forward to this year's conference, it is important to start preparations for 2012. If your organisation would like to host AsiaCALL2012, please let us know by sending a message through the Contact Us form on the AsiaCALL website (http://asiacall.org).
New initiatives
We expect to be announcing soon a number of new initiatives to support professional networking and research. Details should be released at around conference time.
We look forward to seeing many of you in Bangkok and to move forward together into the second quarter of the 21st century. Exciting times are ahead of us!
Best regards to all.

Vice-President of AsiaCALL
I am sure that you will be very interested to listen to these podcasts: quite fascinating. For example, you will find How war, porn & fast food drive innovation in technology and learning (what drives technological progress) and also How Learning Cultures Drive Business Success (the importance of culture).
Cheers for now
Andrew Lian
The Call for Papers for AsiaCALL2011 (10th International AsiaCALL Conference) to be held in Bangkok, Thailand from 18 - 20 November 2011 at the Fourwings Hotel, under the auspices of the Language Center at Srinakharinwirot University has been EXTENDED to 1 September 2011.
We continue to receive a stream of papers from all over the world (including Sudan, South Africa, Canada, Chile, USA) and, as a result of requests from prospective delegates we have decided to extend the call for papers until September 1.
Acceptance advice for abstracts already submitted remains as scheduled. New submissions will be reviewed as they come in. If you have not yet submitted an abstract, please consider doing so.
We will have a great program in the heart of the Bangkok tourist district at very reasonable cost and at a wonderful time of the year. As a special bonus for US colleagues, the conference is timed for just before the Thanksgiving break, thus giving you the opportunity for up to a week of tourism after the conference.
All details for the conference are available on the AsiaCALL website at http://asiacall.org It will be a great pleasure to welcome you to Bangkok and to Thailand. There is still plenty of time to offer a paper.
Best wishes
