It is our great pleasure and honour to present to you this research collection, entitled Systemic Functional Linguistics Theory and Application in Global Contexts. The papers in this peer-reviewed conference proceedings have been selected from those presented at the 1stInternational Online Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFLIG) Interest Group Conference cohosted by the University of Tasmania, the Australian Catholic University, Molloy College, and the University of British Columbia in November 2021. The 1st International Online SFLIG Conference (SFLIG 2021) was organised by an international team of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) scholars in Australia, Asia, the Americas, Africa, and Europe, and with the help of two ICT/data support staff from the University of Tasmania. This collection includes 19 research papers from authors across the globe. It showcases a diversity of topics, reflecting the various strands of the conference under the broad theme of SFL theory and application in the contemporary global context. The political, health and environmental challenges the world faces make it ever more important to develop understandings of SFL theory and its real-world applications. The proceedings present research findings from projects investigating SFL concepts in different fields such as education, engineering, translation,politics, health, and media across the globe, including under-presented research contexts such as Vietnam, Japan, Latin America, and Africa. We hope you will enjoy reading this research collection. May it provide you with inspiration and direction for future studies. Vinh To, Thomas Amundrud and Sally HumphreY
