Meeting Description:

The 16th Asia TEFL International Conference provides a forum to address the
issues that ELT practitioners face in the changing glocalized world. Research
into applied linguistics and ELT highlights a tension between two trends.
First, the trend towards globalization emphasizes the continuing need for a
global lingua franca, a role taken on by English currently. At the same time,
recent research recognizes the importance of the local, with local varieties
of language developing to serve the needs of multilingual local contexts. All
of these developments are taking place in the context of rapid changes in
digital media and communication technologies. These tensions and changes
require a response that emerges both from state-of-the-art applied linguistic
research in ELT and the insights of dedicated practitioners. Our aim for this
conference is to bring together the ELT community in Asia so that we can work
together to forge a common response to the challenges we face, a response that
draws on both research and praxis.
