Since its inception in 2009, ACE has welcomed over one thousand academics and practitioners to its annual Osaka event. The 2012 conference will afford the opportunity for renewing old acquaintances, making new contacts, and networking across higher education. Academics working in Japan and Asia will be encouraged to forge working relationships with each other, as well as with colleagues from Europe and the US, facilitating partnerships across borders. ACE 2012 covers a broad range of topics, including language acquisition, applied linguistics, mulitliteracies and more. This year's conference theme is, Learning and Teaching through Transformative Spaces. As previous Asian Conferences on Education have shown, education and lifelong learning can be seen as a solution to a host of local and global problems whilst globalized education systems are becoming increasing socially, ethnically and culturally diverse. Nevertheless, knowledge is often defined through discourses embedded in Western paradigms, whilst globalised education systems become increasingly determined by dominant knowledge economies. Call for Papers: The 4th Asian Conference on Education extends these discussions to consider the pedagogic challenges of developing transformative spaces for learning and teaching. The conference organizers encourage submissions that consider learning and teaching through one of the following sub-themes, although submission of other topics for consideration is also welcome: Challenges and transformations in learning and teaching Virtual spaces: digital technologies and communications Connections and disconnections in learning and teaching Learning and teaching in glocal spaces of transformation Space, Architecture and Learning Global education and education for sustainable development 'Englishes' and cultural communications (Inter)cultural communications & understanding: challenging and preserving cultural differences Leadership in in learning and teaching Bi-cultural, bilingual and bi-national education We also encourage submissions within and across a variety of disciplines and fields related to Education, including: Adult, Vocational, Distance, and Professional Learning Arts, Drama and Design Bi-cultural, bilingual and bi-national education Community, Culture, Globalization and Internationalization Curriculum and Pedagogy Economics of Education Educational Vision, Policy, Leadership, Management and Administration Equity, Social Justice and Social Change Ethics and Values Institutional Accreditation and Ranking International Schooling and Education Languages Education and Applied Linguistics (ESL/TESL/TEFL) Linguistics Literacy, Language, Multiliteracies Maths, Science, and Technology Learning Music Education Organizational Learning and Change Primary Education Professional Concerns, Training and Development Secondary Education Special Education, Learning Difficulties, Disability Student Learning, Learner Experiences & Learner Diversity Student Affairs Technology in Learning University Research and Development Abstracts are limited to 250 words, plain text.
