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,” we invite abstracts that shed light on emerging language learning, teaching, or research issues, including but not limited to the following suggested sub-themes:
• AI and English Language Education
