Meeting Description: 

The paradigm shifts in language education, across multiple points in time,
have been in alignment with various theoretical and philosophical schools of
thought. Almost all these shifts have been gradual, evolving over a period of
time, providing pedagogues and practitioners ample time to gauge, plan, and
implement these changing pedagogies. However, the same can not be commented
about the recent transition in education emerging from the context of the
pandemic COVID-19. The rapid digitalization of education has been one of the
most prominent reasons that has rendered the existing pedagogies inadequate.
This has resulted in the pedagogues and practitioners experimenting and
applying new modes and methods of language teaching. These teaching-learning
practices have been a means to overcome the challenges posed by the ongoing
pandemic, rather than an outcome of a consistently engaged pedagogical
intervention.

The transition in language education, even though is attributed primarily to
the rapid digitalisation, the pedagogic practices need to take into account
the questions of marginalisation, digital divide, and inaccessibility that
significantly shape educational contexts in various parts of the world. Any
pedagogical practices then should also be informed by the cultural,
economical, and identity discourses, necessitating engagements with policy
decisions emerging from the differences in educational contexts of the Global
South and North. Also important to note here is that the loss of reading
habits and the changing nature of learners informed by digitality mandate an
understanding of the learners’ perspectives in alignment with the evolving
skill-requirements based on the needs of the era. Further, the shifts within
and across the various modes of instruction/learning - offline, online, and
hybrid - have complexified the lived experiences of teaching and learning in
the present time.

It is at this conjecture that the conference Pandemic Pedagogies in Language
Education is conceptualized as a space to bring together practitioners and
pedagogues from across the world to share, critically engage, and discuss the
nuances of the current transition in language education. This conference
(online), organized by the Department of English and Culture Studies, CHRIST
(Deemed to be University), BGR Campus, in collaboration with the Linguistic
Empowerment Cell, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India, and Dhofar
University, Salalah, Oman, aims to enable discussions around (post) pandemic
pedagogies that would inform and shape the language education of the future.
