About the Conference


Rationale

      In recent decades, language education has evolved under the influence of rapid globalization, social change and technological advancements. As a result, learners today need skills that transcend the traditional boundaries of the classroom and require innovative approaches that integrate theory, research, and practice to ensure effective and meaningful learning outcomes. By emphasizing innovation, the seminar aims to highlight methods and strategies that promote creativity, adaptability, and inclusivity in diverse educational environments.

     The 60th RELC International Conference, Singapore serves as a platform for participants and presenters to discuss and review teaching methods, curricula, and assessment strategies to discover effective approaches and innovations for improvement and development. The exchange of ideas and insights during the conference aims to promote clearer understanding and provide new perspectives on the learning and teaching of English in different linguistic contexts to apply in their own contexts.

     Chulalongkorn University Language Institute (CULI) is aware of the importance of enhancing English teaching skills in diverse contexts for English instructors in Thailand. It has therefore organized the annual Post-RELC seminar in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, building on the insights from the RELC annual conference in Singapore. In 2026, the seminar will be held under the theme “Global Trends and Innovations in Language Education: Theory, Research, and Practice in Action,” providing a forum for speakers and participants to discuss and share a wider range of new teaching methods, with presentations on innovative teaching practices designed to support learners in an era of 21st century.

Objectives

1. To connect emerging global trends and their implications for language education, with attention to influences on pedagogy and learner outcomes.
