You are cordially invited to participate in the upcoming OpenTESOL Hybrid Conference, themed “Embracing Voices: Diversity, Agency, and Growth in Language Education.” This event offers an excellent platform for educators, researchers, and language professionals to engage in meaningful discussions and share their expertise on pressing topics in the field of language education.
This year’s conference will focus on the intersection of diversity, agency, and growth, with a particular emphasis on how these themes shape and influence language learning. We invite contributions that explore a range of subthemes, including linguistic and cultural diversity, and how we can foster inclusive pedagogy that reflects the varied needs and identities of our learners. Sessions will address the importance of intercultural competence and culturally responsive pedagogy, alongside strategies for empowering students to take agency in their learning. Additionally, we will explore the role of technology in ensuring equity in language education, as well as its integration into student-centered learning and lifelong language development. The conference will also delve into contemporary challenges in curriculum development, assessment, and the evolving identity of language educators.
