We are also very aware that any ideological approach to pronunciation must remain flexible enough to benefit the local context in which teachers find themselves. In this symposium we aim to present different perspectives on the most pressing current issues facing English teachers, teacher educators, and researchers in this field. We bring together a group of invited speakers who are experts in different aspects of research and practice in the field and look forward to a stimulating exchange of knowledge and ideas. The invited speakers are: Professor Tracey Derwing Dr John Field Dr Helen Fraser Professor Andy Kirkpatrick Associate Professor Ee Ling Low Associate Professor Lynda Yates The symposium, to be held in conjunction with the Australian Council of TESOL Associations International Conference, will feature a morning colloquium followed by afternoon breakout sessions targeting classroom teaching, research and teacher education.
