Language education has undergone remarkable transformation in recent decades, driven by advances in technology, evolving learner needs, and the increasingly globalized nature of education. The theme “Global Trends and Innovations in 
Language Education: Theory, Research and Practice in Action” underscores the integration of theoretical insights, cutting-edge research, and practical applications to enhance language learning outcomes. By spotlighting global trends and innovations, this conference seeks to illuminate the influences of technological advancements, socio-political developments, and socio-cultural changes on language pedagogy and assessment. The focus on innovations encourages exploration of approaches and methodologies that redefine teaching and learning experiences. The inclusion of “theory, research, and practice in action” emphasizes the importance of bridging gaps between academic research and classroom application. This conference invites educators, researchers, and practitioners to engage in meaningful dialogues, share best practices, and co-create actionable strategies that advance the field. It aims to foster a collaborative environment for stakeholders to address global, local and“glocal”challenges that impact classroom teaching and learning, while embracing and leveraging linguistic diversity to shape the future of language education. By integrating theory, research, and practice, participants will be able to collectively reimagine language teaching and learning using evidence-based approaches to meet the demands of an increasingly interconnected and evolving world. 

Aims: 
1. Examine emerging global trends and their implications for language education, with a focus on the interplay of socio-political, technological, and socio-cultural factors influencing pedagogy and learner outcomes.
2. Highlight cutting-edge methodologies, digital tools, and approaches that redefine language teaching and learning experiences, fostering creativity and adaptability in diverse educational contexts.
3. Foster dialogue on the integration of theoretical insights, empirical research,  and practical applications to address real-world challenges and enhance the effectiveness of language education.
4. Provide a platform for educators, researchers, and practitioners to share best practices, innovative strategies, and actionable solutions that advance the field and promote regional and global collaboration.
