The educational landscape is always changing in tandem with new technologies and learning systems, research-informed practice, and innovative approaches to teaching and learning. New language education initiatives are implemented in education systems across Asia and beyond, with the aim of keeping up with new standards, strategies and systemic approaches that are effective in bringing about sustainable learning outcomes. This conference aims to bring together language educators, classroom practitioners, researchers, school leaders and policy makers to review, re-calibrate and re-align new standards, strategies and learning systems to bring about long-lasting, sustainable learning outcomes for language learners.
