This conference aims to bring together policy makers, classroom practitioners, and researchers to rethink and shape new paradigms, and explore alternative pathways and new possibilities in language education that nurture diversity, equity, and inclusion in various educational and training systems across Asia and beyond. It also aims to provide a platform for discussion on the timeless theme of equitable and inclusive language education in the post COVID-19 era when equitable access to home-based or remote learning and other challenges faced in providing an inclusive language education for all learners become pertinent areas of concern to be addressed.
