Call for Abstract Submissions

VietTESOL International Convention 2026 foregrounds key conceptual and practical tensions, including how to balance World Englishes concerns with English as a Lingua Franca priorities in increasingly transnational communicative environments. The Convention welcomes new and contemporary research and practice that explores the multifaceted work of repositioning English from a foreign language to a second language in Vietnam and comparable contexts. Participants will engage in discussions on curriculum redesign, language-of-instruction models, learner support and inclusion, teaching methodology, assessment and accountability, teacher professional development, and technology integration, including the opportunities and risks associated with digital and AI-driven tools. The convention aims to shape the future of English language education in ways that are pedagogically sound, socially sustainable, and regionally and globally connected, while supporting the developing roadmap of Vietnam toward an ESL future.
