Introduction
This conference aims to bring together educators and researchers from a range of backgrounds to discuss the current status of multicultural education in Korea and its potential for English language teaching and learning. Participants will have the opportunity to present their work, exchange ideas, and collaborate on strategies to create a more inclusive and welcoming learning environment.
We hope that the 2023 National Conference will provide a forum for educators to share their ideas, innovations, experience, action research, and major research findings. Furthermore, we plan to organize a junior program for conference attendees’ children and other young multicultural learners.
