In celebration of the 20th anniversary of AsiaTEFL, the 21st AsiaTEFL International Conference will reflect on the past, examine the present, and anticipate the future of English language teaching (ELT) in Asia. Presenters are encouraged to bring any issues that have attracted the attention of ELT practitioners, policymakers, and researchers in Asia over the past two decades. The aim of this 2023 conference is two-fold: (a) to suggest visions for and aspirations of ELT in Asian contexts, and (b) to foster closer friendships and tighter networks among scholars and practitioners whose work involves ELT policies or practices relevant to Asian contexts or students.

The 21st AsiaTEFL International Conference invites research papers, workshops, colloquia/symposia, and poster sessions, with both in-person and online options for participation.
Abstracts should be no more than 250 words, sent via our submission platform at https://app.oxfordabstracts.com/stages/4947/submitter or Proposal Submission
