rapid growth of communication technologies and globalization has provided many
opportunities for English language teachers and learners. It has paved ways for
multiple openings as well as created certain challenges. Many ELT practitioners
face the challenge of sustaining established practices while integrating new
methods and technologies in their classrooms. The conference will provide an
opportunity to address issues related to mixed-ability learners, ESP, syllabus
design, assessment, teacher training, and technology in the classroom. The
conference will also provide a forum for ELT professionals to share and discuss
their research findings and experiences and generate debate on practical and
theoretical issues related to ELT in multiple contexts in Pakistan and
internationally. The Forum is a chance for participants to continue <a name="_GoBack"></a>their professional development while networking and
cooperating with the Pakistan and international ELT community.</span></p>
