The 5th Conference on Education, Language and Inter-cultural Communication (ELIC 2025) was held online on Nov. 27-28, 2025. The Conference is jointly organized by International Science and Culture Center for Academic Contacts (ISCCAC), Leo Tolstoy Institute of Language and Culture (Russia), and Zhengzhou Da'ao Conference Services Co., Ltd.

ELIC 2025 invites academicians to contribute current thoughts and researches in related topics of Education, Language and Inter-cultural Communication, and aims to provide a platform for discussion among leading academicians, researchers, students, and practitioners worldwide who are experts in the fields.

All the relevant and original manuscripts describing an idea or concept, addressing issues and problems are appreciated. In the meantime, prospective authors who are interested in the fields submitted their up-to-date research manuscripts to the conference so as to share their valuable experience with the leading researchers and scholars around the world.

The results of the conference are presented in this collection of academic articles. 38 articles were submitted to the Conference, and 23 of them were accepted for publication after a thorough review by three reviewers. All papers included in this collection underwent careful review by three experts before being selected for publication.
