Interface is a specialist conference in the use of Information Technology (IT) in English Language Teaching (ELT). The British Council has hosted the conference annually since 1998. During the previous 3 events the conference has grown from a one-day seminar of 450 participants to a two-day conference with close to 1000 participants. The conference will be hosted for the first time by the Department of English at the Hong Kong Institute of Education. Interface 2001 will capture the possible transformations in language, learning and teaching that arise from the multi-faceted interactions between children, teachers and Information Technology. It also provides a premier staff development opportunity for teachers, school principals and other educators to explore the integration of Information Technology and English Language Teaching.
