The 2015 International Conference on Language Education and Studies at Wenzao aims to serve as the continuity of the 2014 AILA theme of “one world, many languages” to provide a forum to engage those interested in the theme from different disciplines for cross-disciplinary academic dialogues. One world, as a result of globalization and de-territorialization, has facilitated a call for English as a global language and English as a lingua franca, indicating the power of unity within language education; at the other extreme, however, a different voice having to do with “many languages” has emerged. The focus on many languages indicates a kind of “diversity.” Accordingly, the conference theme could be seen as echoing a call for “diversity within unity.” The ensuing question that we could ask should be: what is the implication of the totalizing effects of globalization for language education and studies in context of “diversity within unity? ” Let us know what you think and share with us your research. After all, in this era of global village, we, as academics, are inevitably connected with each other in one way or another. So, make your own voice be heard at our 2015 International Conference on Language Education and Studies!
