The Central Bicol State University of Agriculture (CBSUA) held an initial meeting with the Bicol Association of Language and Literature Teachers, Inc. (BALLT) on January 29, 2026 to explore a possible partnership for the conduct of the 2026 Language and Literature International Conference. The discussion marked a key step toward strengthening academic collaboration in the fields of language and literature.
The meeting was facilitated through the Office of the Vice President for Business and External Affairs (OVPBEA), particularly by the Institutional Linkages and Special Projects Director, Dr. Christopher B. Dacer, and the International Relations Office Director, Dr. Raquel M. Reapor. BALLT was represented by its officers, headed by Dr. Jenifer R. Sevilla.
Discussions focused on aligning institutional goals, leveraging shared expertise, and co-organizing an international conference that will serve as a platform for scholarly exchange, research dissemination, and intercultural dialogue. Both institutions underscored the importance of collaboration in advancing language and literature education while strengthening regional, national, and international academic linkages.
CBSUA and BALLT expressed their intent to formalize the partnership through the execution of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), which will define the scope of cooperation, roles, and responsibilities in the planning and implementation of the 2026 conference and future joint initiatives. The meeting reflects the shared commitment of both institutions to promoting academic excellence and meaningful collaboration in language and literature. | ๐๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ต ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฐ๐ด ๐ง๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐๐ณ. ๐๐ฉ๐ณ๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐. ๐๐ข๐ค๐ฆ๐ณ, ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ช๐ณ๐ฆ๐ค๐ต๐ฐ๐ณ
