Call for Papers

14th Annual International Conference on Japanese Studies
Nihongo in Globalization: Language Education, Societies and Power 
グローバル化する日本語を考える:言語教育、多文化社会と国家 
24-25 January 2014 
Ateneo de Manila University


Over the last few decades, there has been a remarkable change in the situation of second/foreign language education. Multiculturalism and multilingualism have been adopted in many countries, and a demand for translingual competence has been increasing along with globalization and the consequent cross-border phenomena in the world. The creation of the Common European Framework of References for Languages and the following JF Standards has brought about an immense impact on the practice in pedagogical settings of second/foreign languages. With this background, the conference is a response to the urgent need to foster an extensive and profound understanding of second/foreign language, and develop theories and methodologies of language research relevant to the current state and future prospects.

The guest speakers include: Prof. Katsumi Kakazu (National Chengchi University), Ms. Harumi Kimura (Hitotsubashi University), Prof. Hiroyuki Nomoto (Tokyo Metropolitan University), and Prof. Shigenori Wakabayashi (Chuo University).

The conference organizers welcome paper submissions that are aligned with this year’s conference theme. It hopes to generate discussion that aims to enhance knowledge on language, innovate practice of language teaching, and direct language research toward multicultural inclusiveness. The conference particularly encourages critical studies in the following areas:

Japanese language in globalization
Japanese languages in multicultural society
Cultural literacy and Japanese as second/foreign language
Japanese language and colonialism
Gender and Japanese language
Diversity, variability, and standardization of Japanese language
Information and Communications Technology and Japanese language

Other related topics are also welcome. Please email abstracts to jspadmu@gmail.com on or before 15 October 2013. All submissions will be refereed.

Venue:  Ateneo de Manila University, Quezon City, Philippines
Dates: 24 and 25 January 2014

  4. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
