*CALL FOR ABSTRACTS*
Rethinking ELT in the Age of AI

The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) has ushered in a new era in
education, presenting both opportunities and challenges for English
Language Teaching (ELT). As AI technologies such as natural language
processing, machine learning, and chatbots continue to evolve, they are
reshaping the landscape of English language learning and instruction in
profound ways. In response to these rapid changes, scholars and
practitioners are exploring the multifaceted relationship between ELT and
AI, examining AI’s potential to enhance language learning experiences and
ELT practices.

Despite the promise of AI, its integration into ELT raises significant
pedagogical and ethical concerns. Chief among these are issues such as the
accuracy of AI-generated feedback, students’ over-reliance on AI tools, and
plagiarism in writing, all of which need to be critically examined to
ensure positive learning outcomes in this evolving educational landscape.
Additionally, the impact of AI technologies on teaching also requires
teachers to develop new competencies and adapt their pedagogical strategies
to effectively leverage these tools. This shift also raises questions about
the changing role of language teachers and the skills they need to develop
to work effectively alongside AI systems.

In light of these opportunities and challenges, the principal theme of this
conference is ‘Rethinking ELT in the Age of AI.’ We welcome submissions of
research that appreciate and examine issues related to AI practices in the
ESL/EFL context. Our aim is to foster a comprehensive dialogue on this
