This conference, themed “Language Sustainability: Reality, Challenges and Directions in the Digital Technology Era”, is proudly organised by the Faculty Language and Communication, UNIMAS. We seek original research papers that include the following:

This is also an excellent platform for participants to establish multidisciplinary collaborations locally and at the international level.
