4th RICELT Biannual Conference

RICELT (Red de Investigación Chilena en ELT) would like to invite teachers, researchers, academics, undergraduate and postgraduate students in Chile and abroad to present their work and proposals for the 4th RICELT Biannual Conference titled:

RESEARCHING, TEACHING, AND LEARNING ENGLISH IN CHILE: PERSONAL, SOCIAL, AND VIRTUAL REPRESENTATIONS

In times of change and reinvention, communities are developing collective meanings, ideas, and practices. Such social representations, cognitions, or thinking are always related to the social and cultural tensions in our society. With this in mind, we invite the Chilean ELT community (pre and in-service teachers of English as well as academics) to share their ELT research-based representations, thinking, and voices and be part of our biannual collective discussions. Considering the current events this year, our free research-based conference will be done entirely online via Zoom live.

OBJECTIVES

•  Join the discussion on issues raised by the current research in ELT in Chile
• Become acquainted with the latest research in the Chilean ELT context
• Determine areas that need to be explored/researched in the Chilean ELT context
• Generate virtual networking opportunities and partnerships to enhance current and future research.
• Each speaker and attendant will have the opportunity to be part of thematic panels covering different areas of interest. We particularly welcome classroom-based research projects, such as (exploratory) action research.
