3rd International Conference on Language Education
 
The Seven Spheres of Language Teaching: From Tradition to Innovation

Ang Pitong Aspeto ng Pagtuturo ng Wika: Mula sa Tradisyon Tungong Inobasyon

4-6 December 2007 
The Manila Hotel 
Manila, Philippines 

Language teaching as a professional discipline continues to evolve. Its 
essential elements – matter, methodology, measurement, materials, management, 
mentors and mentees are constantly being shaped and further reshaped by various 
interacting influences. While these changes offer promising effects on the one 
hand, some bring about confusions and conflicts. These transitions and 
transformations pose challenges to language teachers, teacher educators, 
students and other stakeholders. Hence, the Philippine Association for Language 
Teaching, Inc. (PALT) will hold its 3rd International Conference on Language 
Education to address such realities. This occasion specifically aims to: 

1. address theoretical issues and practical concerns that influence the current 
state of language teaching in local and global contexts; 

2. showcase policies, practices, programs and partnerships that attempt to 
meaningfully redefine the nature of language teaching, learning and research; 
and 

3. provide a venue for professional networking, collaboration, and advocacy 
among stakeholders of language education..
