ELE’s 6th International KT Forum: Empowering Human-Centric ELT

ELE’s 6th International KT Forum: Empowering Human-Centric ELT 

On May 5, 2025, ELE teamed up with Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) and TEFLIN to host the 6^th International Knowledge Transfer Forum, “Human-centric ELT: Empowering Educators through Collaborative Innovation and Deep Learning” at Muhammadiyah University of Surakarta (MUS). The hybrid event brought together 950 passionate educators from 20 provinces and 65 regions across Indonesia, underscoring its truly national scale. 🌏

The day was enriched by insights from leading voices in the field: 

• Prof. Harun Joko Prayitno (Rector, MUS) 

• Dr. Didik Suhardi (Chairman, Muhammadiyah Central Board) 

• Prof. Utami Widiati (TEFLIN President) 

• Dr. Nur Arifah Drajati (UNS) 

• Dr. Ju Seong Lee, Dr. Tim Taylor, and Ms. Winsy Wan Yee Lai (EdUHK) 

Beyond the forum, the ELE team visited SMP Muhammadiyah—engaging with students and joining their podcast to share firsthand stories of research, teaching, and learning. 🎙️ 

By bringing together diverse stakeholders, we forged powerful partnerships that advance UN SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), and SDG 17 (Partnerships). ELE remains committed to combining quality research with caring pedagogy to make a lasting global impact. 🤝
