LANGUAGE ACROSS BORDERS: TOWARD ASEAN AND BEYOND May 24th, 2012 Jasmine Executive Suites Hotel, Bangkok, Thailand Department of Western Languages Faculty of Humanities Srinakharinwirot University 1 oreword F The Department of Western Languages has been organizing conferences pertaining to language and literature for many years. The purpose of the conference is to provide opportunity for researchers, teachers and students to share ideas on relevant topics with the aspiration of stimulating innovative and effective approaches to the teaching and studying of English language, language teaching and literature. This year’s conference expanded the content to reach the concepts of “Language across Borders” to form firm stepping stones toward ASEAN and any other broader context as well as to contribute to our strong ASEAN community, with language education as a means for sustainability. With Associate Professor Dr. Aaron Smith, Illinois State University, USA, Professor Dr. Joseph A Foley, Assumption University, Thailand and Mr. Damon Anderson. A Regional English Language Officer, U.S.A.as the keynote speakers, the conference attached much attention from interested students, lecturers, and scholars. We hope that outcome of the event and the selected papers published in the conference proceedings will contribute to the development of language education and literary study and will also encourage a collaborative network among university scholars, lecturers and students in the related fields in Thailand. On this occasion, I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to all speakers, participants and particularly all the organizing staff who devoted their efforts to make this academic conference a success.
