ABOUT ICALLE
OUR OBJECTIVES
The intersection of applied linguistics and language teaching enriches research, theory-building, pedagogy, and practice. This is one of the reasons why there is a need to bring together researchers and educators through ICALLE 2017 to share their research results and best practices. The specific objectives are:
-
To share findings of applied linguistic research and their implications for and applications to language education in different contexts;
-
To facilitate the sharing of ideas about how applied linguistics can help language education foster enduring understanding among learners across levels – elementary, secondary, college/university;
-
To update participants with innovative methods and strategies in teaching a language and assessing language learning; and
-
To help in establishing a network of applied linguists and language educators throughout the world.
