International Conference on Technology-enhanced Language Learning and Teaching and International Conference on Corpus-based Language Learning and Teaching 2021

(只有英文版 English version only)

The International Conference on International Conference on Technology-enhanced Language Learning and Teaching (TeLLT) and International Conference on Corpus-based Language Learning and Teaching (CoLLT) 2021 organised by the Department of Linguistics and Modern Language Studies, the Centre for Language in Education, and the Centre for Research on Linguistics and Language Studies from 7 to 9 July 2021 aimed to bring together academics from around the world to report on their various research work related to TeLLT, and CoLLT. As TeLLT and CoLLT are gaining momentum in this digitised world, it is hoped that through the two jointly held conferences, we can promote Hong Kong as a hub for academic exchanges and collaborations in the area of technology-enhanced language learning and teaching, and corpus-based language learning and teaching. Given the current pandemic situation, the conference was held via Zoom.

The conference attracted more than 130 presenters from different parts of the world, including Australia, Austria, Colombia, Egypt, Hong Kong, Iran, Japan, Macau, mainland China, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain, New Zealand, Taiwan, the Netherlands, the UK, and the USA reporting their studies on technology-enhanced and corpus-based language learning and teaching in English, Putonghua, Cantonese, and other modern languages.

The conference was a great success: during the six plenary sessions, 19 parallel sessions and four themed symposiums, there were over 800 participants in total (headcounts), and the participants had very insightful discussions and exchanges on TeLLT & CoLLT issues.

The conference was honoured to have invited the following distinguished keynote speakers in the field of TeLLT & CoLLT.
