Members of the language grouping explore linguistic, social, cultural and policy dimensions of languages in the Asia Pacific regions. Since language is central to expressions of identity (both individual and societal) our research embraces social change and popular culture. Our research concerns:

language change and language use
language learning pedagogy
language policy
dialectology
diaspora languages
creoles and pidgins
varieties of English spoken in the regions of Asia and the Pacific
popular culture, identity and social change.
