9TH. INTERNATIONAL ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING CONFERENCE
"English Language Learning & Teaching in The Digital Era"
The 21st century is an era of great digital advancements and many children start school technologically literate.
Such developments bring challenges to educators and an increasing
awareness of the importance of the English language as a global
language, the language of the internet, the language of social media.
Indeed, the world of English language teaching has seen much of these
advancements incorporated into the classroom, exploiting an environment
where the 21st century learner feels very much at home. However, are
teachers simply jumping on the bandwagon or harnessing the benefits of
educational and social technology?
To this end, iELT-Con 2019
aims to provide a platform for the English language teaching (ELT) community across the globe to
discuss and explore the following questions : What does teaching and learning in the digital era mean to ELT practitioners, researchers, policy makers, curriculum
designers, material designers? What implications are there for teaching
& learning? Are there new practices and innovations to facilitate teaching and learning in the digital era?
