Second Call for Papers
The 14th ESEA Conference
26-28 November 2009
Ateneo de Manila University, Philippines
Theme
English Changing: Implications for policy, teaching and research
Educators today face the challenge of teaching learners who need different
Englishes for diverse purposes--all while English and its uses are themselves
also changing. These changes raise new questions for policy, teaching and
research. How should governments and educational systems respond? In what ways
should classrooms change? What kinds of research are needed given these new
realities?
The 14th ESEA conference aims to provide a venue for the discussion of these
issues from a variety of perspectives and for stimulating new work in these areas.
The ESEA conference series is the result of collaboration between the National
Institute of Education (Singapore), the University of Malaya (Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia), the University of Brunei Darussalam, Curtin University (Perth,
Australia), Ateneo de Manila University (Quezon City, the Philippines), Hong
Kong Institute of Education (Hong Kong, China), Sanata Dharma University
(Yogyakarta, Indonesia) , King Mongkut's University of Technology (Thonburi,
Thailand), and Waikato University (New Zealand).
Topics:
Policy
- The relationship of English and other languages in education, workplace, and
society
- The systems for language education and the improvement of their capacities
- The way research and teaching informs policy
Teaching
- The practice of teaching in light of new Englishes and various contexts of use
- The materials, media, and curricula appropriate for teaching and learning
- The transformation of teacher education and development

about language teaching
- The applicability of different research paradigms for investigating various
issues in English language teaching
