Brief Introduction

The International Association for Bilingual Studies (formerly Bilingual Studies Research Center) was founded in 1999 at Minzu University of China, under the leadership of Professor Dai Qing Sha. Beginning with the Association’s first International Conference during the same year, it has since held ten conferences in and out of China: notably, the 9th International Conference (2012) held in Thailand, and the recent 10th International Conference (2013) in Guiyang, China.

The Association, emphasizing the importance of bilingualism in the modern society, highly values scholarly researches, insights and discussions on the relationships among Mandarin Chinese, minority ethnic languages and dialects of China, and foreign languages. It is imperative for them not only to develop deeper understanding and stronger ties among scholars, but also to push bilingual studies to new heights; hence, the Association continuously organizes conferences as an avenue for exploring, sharing and learning.

In light of the aims of the Association, the 11th International Conference on Bilingual Studies will be organized by Chiang Kai Shek College, to be held in Manila, Philippines from February 12 to 15, 2015. Scholars and researchers involved in the discipline are highly encouraged to participate.
