All papers included in this volume were selected through a peer-review process conducted by reviewers with relevant expertise. The review process focused on the originality, relevance, clarity, and academic contribution of each submission. The accepted papers represent a range of theoretical perspectives, research methodologies, and contextual settings, reflecting the interdisciplinary and international nature of current research on language, multilingualism, and multiculturalism. The editors would like to express their sincere appreciation to the keynote and invited speakers, reviewers, authors, and members of the organising committee for their valuable contributions and commitment to the success of IRoLe 2025. It is hoped that these proceedings will contribute to ongoing scholarly discourse and serve as a useful reference for future research in language and related fields. The Editors
