The conference serves a platform for participants to report on current research and practices in foreign language education and related disciplines. It will also provide an avenue for the discussion and critical examination of new and innovative concepts and approaches expected to have an impact on future practices.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<blockquote>\nThe inaugural CLaSIC was held in December 2004 at the National University of Singapore and was a resounding success. The second and third CLaSIC in December 2006 and December 2008 respectively echoed the success of the first with around 180 participants from all over the world.\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<b>Feedback on the last three conferences:<\/b>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0<i>The committee has done a fantastic job and I&#8217;ve found all staff very helpful and generous.
