Meeting Description:

ESP: Needs, Pedagogy, and Assessment

Rationale:

Globalization and integration among countries, both at the regional and global level, have opened up business opportunities as well as opportunities for various forms of collaboration among world citizens. Due to the breaking down of economic barriers and the coming of the Asean Economic Community (AEC) in 2015, the importance of skilled labour in a variety of specific fields within ASEAN is growing. Stakeholders in English language teaching and learning – from policy makers and language institutes to students and workers from different professions – have come to realize that English proficiency will be one of the essential factors to developing the potential of both individuals and the nation.

Recognizing the role English for Specific Purposes (ESP) will play in meeting this need, together with the auspicious occasion of the 60th birthday anniversary of HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, who has been the royal patron of activities and projects related to English language teaching and learning, in the year 2015, Chulalongkorn University Language Institute (CULI) is organizing the CULI International Conference 2015 to encourage those involved in English language teaching and learning to revisit and reevaluate current teaching methods as well as develop a more effective, creative education system. With our main focus on the workshops and presentations, this year’s conference will be a platform for English language educators at all levels to share their ideas and experience in teaching English within ASEAN, as well as within the global framework, in order to enhance the competitiveness of all citizens in the new labor market and to take English language teaching and learning in the region to another level.

Objectives:

1. To celebrate the auspicious occasion of the 60th birthday anniversary of HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn
2. To present participants with an opportunity to meet leading speakers on ELT and listen to their views concerning ESP
3. To provide a platform for ELT professionals to share their insights, best practices, and challenges regarding ESP
4. To offer participants an opportunity to network with colleagues in the ELT profession
5. To stimulate further research in ELT in ASEAN countries and beyond
