Description
CLaSIC2026 – Beyond Borders: Language Education in the Era of AI
CLaSIC2026 celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Centre for Language Studies at NUS. To mark this occasion, we invite educators, researchers, and practitioners to explore how language education is evolving in an age of rapid technological change. While AI and digital tools increasingly shape teaching and learning, a key question remains: How does the human teacher continue to guide, transform, and enrich language learning today?
Our central theme focuses on the role of the teacher in AI-mediated environments. At the same time, we warmly welcome contributions from across the wider field of language education. Submissions offering theoretical insights, empirical findings, classroom innovations, cross-cultural perspectives, or policy implications are all encouraged.
We look forward to receiving your abstracts and to welcoming you to Singapore in December 2026.
Topics of the contributions may include, but are not limited to:
1. Pedagogy, Teachers, and AI
Teaching design, human–machine interaction, teacher cognition, affect, and professional development.
2. Curriculum, Materials, and Assessment
Curriculum design, materials/textbooks, assessment, and feedback (including AI-supported approaches).
3. Learning Environments and Contexts
Blended, hybrid, extended, informal, community-based, and technology-mediated learning spaces.
4. Learner Development, Competence, and Identity
Fluency, competence, engagement, agency, motivation, identity, and proficiency frameworks.
5. Digital Literacy, Ethics, and Equity
Critical digital literacy, access, inclusion, ethics, policy, and responsible AI use.
6. Multilingualism and Global Perspectives
Multilingual practices, mobility, intercultural communication, and international perspectives.
