Meeting Description:

To promote a scholarly conversation among TESOL practitioners, researchers,
materials writers, curriculum developers, and policy makers, the English
Language Center (ELC) of Shantou University (STU) will host its 9th Biennial
International Conference from 20 to 22 April 2018.

The conference theme is Revisiting ELT Practices in Multicultural Contexts:
Evidence-Based Practices. The conference strives to promote the idea that as
ELT practices are situated in multicultural settings, English teachers and
teacher educators will need to re-appropriate or revisit their ELT practices
at curricular, pedagogical, and assessment levels. This is because learners
with different sociocultural and linguistic backgrounds have a different
motivation to learn English as a foreign language (EFL), English as an
additional language (EAL), English as an international language (EIL), or
English as a lingua franca (ELF). This different learning orientation
challenges TESOL practitioners and teacher educators to re-think or question
what best ELT practices mean to learners of English and in what ways such
practices help learners become autonomous learners of English and competent
users of English.


Call for Papers:

To continue a scholarly dialogue about the issue above, we are pleased to
invite TESOL professionals, researchers, and graduate students to submit
proposals for the 9th ELC 2018 International Conference. The Organizing
Committee welcomes original research papers, classroom (best practice) papers,
and poster presentations, addressing issues that are relevant to, but are not
limited to the following strands:

Language policy and curriculum design

NOTE:
