Theme: Overcoming Challenges, Exploring Possibilities: New Practices in Languages, Literatures and Cultures
Since 1999, the biennial MICOLLAC organised by the Department of English, Faculty of Modern Languages and Communication, Universiti Putra Malaysia has been steadfast in welcoming fresh ideas and creating interconnections between research and practice in the areas of languages, literatures and cultures.
During the worldwide lockdown due to the COVID-19 outbreak, many important on-site activities in Malaysia came to a halt. The 11th MICOLLAC was held during this time in the online mode, and was attended by our regular MICOLLAC crowd from more than 11 countries.
Since Malaysia opened its borders in April 2022 after almost three years of restricted entry, MICOLLAC is now ready to welcome you back to Malaysia for another round of exciting sharing of research and practices, and renewing of networking and collaboration with colleagues from all over the world.
We are pleased to announce the 12th Malaysia International Conference on Languages, Literatures and Cultures (MICOLLAC 2023) which will be held from 1 to 3 August 2023 at Bayview Hotel, Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia.
