GLOW in Asia XI was held at the National University of Singapore, February 20–22, 2017, hosted by the Department of English Language & Literature. We are proud to have had this opportunity to host the first GLOW in Asia meeting in Southeast Asia. Approximately 100 scholars participated in total, resulting in a vibrant and stimulating event. The meeting was characterized by the diversity of languages and regions represented, attracting leading and emerging scholars from across as well as beyond Asia.

In addition to plenary talks by Edith Aldridge, Rajesh Bhatt, and Timothy J. Vance, 16 oral presentations and 22 poster presentations were given across three days. We are pleased to present this two-volume collection of 34 papers from the meeting.
