BELTA-NSU International Conference 2024, 11th BELTA International Conference

Call for Proposals

Theme: Re/Envisioning Paradigms in English Language Education

The world we inhabit calls for new visions, novel missions, and innovative actions. The demands of the new world are causing paradigmatic shifts in the areas of English language planning and policy, curricula, instructional materials and methods, assessment and research methodologies. From the tried and tested classrooms, with blackboards, OHPs, and libraries for researchers to the recent innovations in technology such as, ChatGPT, LMS, Caspio, etc., learning and teaching have never been such a dynamic, and challenging organic sphere of knowledge. Perceiving the importance to understand and examine these new paradigms of English language education to prepare the stakeholders for the challenging new world, Bangladesh English Language Teachers Association (BELTA) in association with North South University (NSU), Dhaka, Bangladesh is inviting prospective academics, researchers, teachers, students, and policymakers to submit their proposals for papers, posters, and workshops to the BELTA-NSU International Conference 2024 entitled Re/Envisioning Paradigms in English Language Education.
