CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
Conference Theme
英語教學界的新常態: 打造新時代的英語學習與教學環境
New Normal in TESOL: Learners and Teachers Inside and Outside the Boundaries of
the Conventional English Classroom
We are pleased to announce that the submission deadline has been extended to April 8th, 2024. This extension is provided to accommodate additional requests from the community and to ensure that all interested participants have ample opportunity to prepare and submit their work.
After the shadow of the pandemic finally subsides, the TESOL academic community is
undergoing a profound transformation. In recent times, the field of TESOL has been
reshaped by technology e.g., artificial intelligence (AI), offering new opportunities
and challenges for both educators and learners who are engaging with diverse modes
of expression, media, and literacies. Not only learners but also teachers are
navigating their identities within and beyond the classroom. All these issues are also
intersecting with various educational policies, such as bilingual education, English-
medium instruction (EMI), and content and language integrated learning (CLIL).
We are delighted to announce the upcoming conference, organized by the English
Department of National Chengchi University, and generously guided and supported
by the English Teaching and Research Association, Taiwan (ETRA). With the theme,
“New Normal in TESOL: Learners and Teachers Inside and Outside the Boundaries of
the Conventional English Classroom,
