 Plenary Session

Meeting Halfway with Learners

These days when we’re witnessing ELT materials development getting all the more dynamic, educators face the challenge of striking a balance between meeting the evolving needs and wants of learners while adapting to the changing landscape influenced by technological advancements and evolving social values. One of the central dilemmas addressed is the compromise between adhering to traditional teaching principles and embracing the demands of a modern ELT environment. This presentation will feature some of the mindboggling challenges of deciding how much adjustment should be made and on what grounds, and the implications of these shifts on learner outcomes.
