The 3rd International Conference on Language, Literature, and Culture (ICON-LLCE 2023) hosted by Indonesian Language and Literature Education Department, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Universitas Islam Malang, is a joint international conference co-hosted by Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU), Universitas Trunojoyo, Universitas Sunan Giri Bojonegoro, Asosiasi Dosen Bahasa dan Sastra Indonesia (ADOBSI), and Perkumpulan Pengelola Jurnal Bahasa dan Sastra Indonesia serta Pengajarannya (PPJB-SIP). The conference is held on September 1-2, September 2023, on hybrid mode. This year’s theme is “Increasing the Role of Indonesian for the Advancement of Science and Global Civilization”, with 29 sub-sub-themes. The conference forum facilitates discussions and collaboration among lecturers, researchers, and graduate students in Indonesia and beyond to share their advanced research, experiences, best practices, and innovations in language, literature, and cultural education. The papers presented at the ICON-LLCE 2023 are published in numerous scholarly publications platforms like national-indexed book chapters, national-indexed journals of SINTA, and international proceedings by Atlantis Press.

The conference invites keynote speakers to share their insights related to Indonesian Language, Literature, and Cultural Education from any diverse perspectives, such as from South Korea (Prof Koh Young Hun, The Hankuk University of Foreign Studies), Japan (Prof. Kyoko Funada, The Kanda University of Foreign Studies), Turkey (Prof. Ali Guzelyuz, The Istanbul University), the United States (Dr. Rahmi Hartati Aoyama, The Northern Illinois University), and Indonesia (Prof E. Aminudin Aziz from Language Development and Fostering Agency and Prof Luluk Sri Agus Prasetyoningsih from Universitas Islam Malang).

The role of the Indonesian language holds paramount significance, as it serves as an instrumental medium for educating the populace. It retains a steadfast position as a conduit for national communication, a unifying force, and a vital instructional medium for the nation's educational endeavors. In the contemporary epoch of globalization and the advent of Industry 4.0, global communication transcends temporal and spatial boundaries, with language assuming a preeminent role therein. The fortification and consolidation of Indonesian's role in this communicative milieu are imperative. Yet, given the intricate nature of the Indonesian populace, the augmentation and fortification of Indonesian's role necessitates sustained endeavors to ensure the preservation of Indonesian cultural identity within the nation's human resources. Meticulous initiatives to fortify Indonesian as the lingua franca of scientific discourse in this era of globalization demand concerted engagement from various stakeholders, including the Indonesian Language and Literature Education Study Program (PBSI) within the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) at Universitas Islam Malang. Digital transformation denotes a comprehensive process wherein organizations integrate digital technology across all facets of operation, thus altering the manner in which value is delivered to Indonesian-speaking constituencies. In the Indonesian context, this entails the fundamental adoption of innovative digital technologies to effect cultural and operational shifts that harmonize with the evolving demands, habits, and exigencies of the Indonesian-speaking populace. Significantly, this encompasses an expansive online Indonesian dictionary, the integration of information technology and the internet in the pedagogical sphere of teaching Indonesian Language, Literature, and Culture, and the infusion of artificial intelligence into the teaching of Indonesian for Language Foreign Speakers.

Finally, through this imminent iteration of ICON-LLCE 2023, distinguished scholars and academics representing various global locales convene to engage in thoughtful deliberations pertaining to initiatives aimed at safeguarding and fortifying the enduring pertinence and robustness of the Indonesian language within the ambit of forthcoming intellectual pursuits and the broader global cultural discourse.
