The 24th Annual Graduate Student Conference of the College of Languages, Linguistics & Literature (LLL) at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa was held online on Saturday, April 18th, 2020. This annual conference provides an opportunity for students to become socialized into academic practices, such as presenting at a conference and producing a paper for publication in these proceedings. It also allows graduate students to take on various roles in the academic community, as conference chairs, proceedings editors, coordinators, and volunteers. This year's conference did not have a specific theme to attest that one theme could not be enough to define the diverse, creative, and intellectual work that the students had done. Following a preface (Victoria Lee, Denis Melik Tangiyev, & Chau Truong) and plenary highlights (Atsushi Hasegawa), papers in these proceedings include: Homeless or Houseless: Terminology Changes for Home Owner Agency (Jenniefer Corpuz); Positing a Hybrid Exemplar Model for L2 Intonation (Bonnie J. Fox); A Look at Prosody in Nasal (Jacob Hakim); Flying in English (Michaela Nuesser); Subtitled Videos as a Learning Tool in an L2 Classroom (Lucia Camardiel Sardiña); An Interactive Analysis on Indirect Conversational Closing Strategies in Chinese (Yunhe Sun); and Emerging Phenomena on Epistemic Marker - "Ketun" in Korean Conversations (Boeui Woo).
