Meeting Description:

Conference Theme: English Learning and Teaching on the World Stage

The 36th International Conference on English Language Teaching and Learning
will be held from May 17 to May 18, 2019 at Tunghai University, Taichung,
Taiwan. This conference aims to bring together researchers, teacher educators,
and English teachers from different parts of the world to reposition
themselves on the ever-changing World Stage of English teaching and learning.

In the midst of rapid technological innovation and continuous globalization,
English language learning and teaching has undergone phenomenal changes.
English learning and teaching is no longer bound to classroom setting. Virtual
classroom has become a viable alternative to many English language learners
around the world. Convenient accesses to the authentic English language input
via the Internet have strengthened the continuity between in-class and outside
class language practices. Nevertheless, the digital divide also further
complicated the gap in English proficiency between the students living in the
cities and those in the rural areas. Some English learners are trying to
sustain and keep up with English whereas other are thriving with easy accesses
to the Web 2.0 resources, and after-school online tutoring.

At the juncture of ample possibilities and yet immense uncertainties, many ELT
practitioners are met with the challenge of sustaining the established
practices and at the same time blending in innovative ones with an attempt to
reach every student.  With these ongoing changes, how the English language
teachers are trained to meet the needs of generation Z remains dubious. In
research, we have seen burgeoning intercultural, interdisciplinary,
transnational collaborations in an array of topics, and yet there are still so
many unanswered questions. Can CALL help the students struggling with English
learn better? What are the strategies that English teachers can utilize when
teaching students with varying English abilities in the same classroom? How
can the EFL teacher training reflect the needs of 21st Century learners?
