Intercultural Communication and Collaboration within and
across Sociolinguistic Environments
The 15th International Conference on Cross-Cultural Communication
September 18-20, 2009
Kumamoto Gakuen University, Japan
Co-sponsored by the Japanese Association for Asian Englishes
The continuing globalization of the world brings ever-increasing opportunities to share knowledge and ideas across sociolinguistic boundaries. This is not simply a matter of the world becoming smaller or more alike—on the contrary, recognition and respect of diversity have become prerequisites in face of the need to understand and get along with each other. Moreover, intercultural sensitivity and accommodation are necessary for successful collaboration towards exchange and resolution of global issues.
The importance of effective communication across different environments has long been recognized; however, it is becoming more apparent that the need for enhanced communication skills to share ideas effectively even within the same sociolinguistic environment is posing an ever increasing challenge. This is at least partly due to the relative decrease in face-to-face communication that has become a dangerous side-effect of the bewildering increase in methods of global communication and the speed of change in the environment itself. The challenge of successful cooperation not only across but also within sociolinguistic and cultural boundaries, then, remains in the limelight today.
This year’s conference aims to bring together experts in cross-cultural communication studies with a focus on recognition of the changing communicative environment in which we live and work, with the hope that new ideas and opportunities for collaboration will result. As an interdisciplinary conference on human communication across cultures, the suggested paper topics, therefore, cover a wide range of communication related themes.

Ethnic Identity, Hybridity and Intercultural Communication 2008 IAICS Conference
November 13-15, 2008
From the 'age of discovery' to this millennium, globalization have been underway and it has dramatically altered the relations and connections between peoples from different cultural background. The intensification of technological change across telecommunication and human interactions presents new political, cultural, and moral dilemmas and opportunities. Social change, cultural differences, identity, uncertainty, diversity and world order in the process of global communication demand fresh perspectives and new systems of explanation. In such a rapidly changing world, communication plays a much more important role today than ever before. People from different cultural backgrounds are actively using the appropriation of communication resources to construct their cultural and social rights, style, and identity. Communicative resources thus become an integral part of an individual's symbolic and social capital, which can be every bit as essential as real property resources were once considered to be. Therefore, to understand and develop intercultural knowledge and skills become most critical for a productive and successful life in the 21st century. Hence the focus of this conference is on issues of ethnic identity and cultural hybridity.
