WELCOME TO OUR JOINT CONFERENCE!
English Teacher Association (ETA-ROC) entrusts Ming Chuan University with organizing and holding The 30th International Symposium and Book Exhibit on English Language Teaching, which is combined with The 23rd International Conference and Workshop on TEFL & Applied Linguistics, in order to provide a platform for scholars and researchers to share the fruits of their studies.
Topics
Primary School Teaching Issues. Our English language teaching in Taiwan and much of East Asia began at the primary school level over twenty years ago, yet classes may be limited to two hours per week. Is this enough for significant learning? What issues are of relevance to primary school teachers?
Secondary School Teaching Issues. One of the complaints of some teachers is that all students use the same materials and are expected to progress at the same rate, yet often students fall behind. Grouping classes by ability can be controversial. The secondary level is where most students get the bulk of their English training. How can we generate more efficient learning? What are the different issues that affect learning in junior high, senior high, and vocational schools?
Teacher Training. Considering various concerns at all levels of ELT, how can teacher educators help our pre-service and in-service teacher training address these issues?
Technology. Digital technologies and distance learning have now been in use for many years. While many schools have invested a lot of money in the hardware, have there been any positive results?
Research. There is a continuing need for research in traditional areas of English teaching and learning to suggest more effective ways to facilitate student learning including studies on methodology as well as research into related fields such as second language acquisition, psychology, and the rapidly-developing neurolinguistics to better inform teachers of how learning actually occurs.
Testing and Evaluation. Nowadays most universities require the passing of an established English test (GEPT, TOEFL, TOEIC, or others) at a certain level before graduation. Though controversial, this trend is set to stand. While these tests meet established standards, other tests have not been so rigorously scrutinized, yet we use them to determine students’ grades and ultimately their futures. What has been done or what can be done to make our everyday tests better? How can these issues be addressed effectively?
