Meeting Description:

In an era characterised by globalisation and constant political, economic,
socio-cultural and educational change, the ELT community faces many challenges
to track or/and adapt to the constant flow of new policies, inventions,
methods as well as trends. Globalisation itself is redefined by the search for
self-description in the local sphere through identity assertion and
communication. Global and local are not only spatial configurations but also
spaces that redefine societies in terms of realities, i.e. what is common and
what is divergent from one society to another. Indeed, the ELT community
throughout the world has both global and local goals to promote and enhance
English language teaching and learning. “What is globalized is not an abstract
language, but specific speech forms, genres, styles, and forms of literacy
practice” (Blommaert 2003, p. 608).  What is local, however, is the context,
the speakers and their specific needs.

The present International conference on ELT in a Changing World  focuses on
debating the source and nature of the changes affecting schools, teachers, and
learners. Among the major concerns are the very responses to these changes as
imagined by policy makers, curriculum developers, teacher educators and
researchers. Our conference is meant to be an opportunity for the community of
ELT professionals from Tunisia and around the world to discuss the changes
focusing on the following (but not exclusively) sub-themes:

- Educational policy responses to globalization   
- Learner-centered teaching methodology
- Reflective teaching/learning 
- Skills for teachers and learners
- Quantity/quality in education 
- Blended learning and eclecticism
- Alternative evaluation and assessment for learning  
- Task-based, project-based, inquiry-based teaching/learning 
- Experiential teaching modes and transfer for learning   
- (Inter)cultural learning through electronic and/or exchange programs 
- Interdisciplinary approaches to teaching  
- Multimodal texts as authentic materials
- Innovative methods of teaching/assessing the language skills 
- Teacher qualifications and career prospects
- Responses to new demands in teacher  training, education, and development  
- ELT global dominance and local struggles
