Teacher Talks 2026:

Danang on Saturday, 3 October,

Ho Chi Minh City on Saturday, 10 October

Invitation to Present 

We are seeking practical, interactive workshops that share innovative approaches, classroom-based research, and strategies that participants can immediately apply in their own teaching contexts.

Proposals should align with one of the following streams and strands: 

​

Streams:  

1. ELT

*EMI (English-Medium Instruction) refers to teaching subject-specific content through English in contexts where English is not the official language. This stream is particularly relevant to school subject teachers and university lecturers.

2. Translanguaging and Multilingual Classrooms    

3. Language Pedagogy, Curriculum and Assessment

• Practice-informed content with clear relevance to teaching and learning.  

• Opportunities for participant engagement and interaction.  

• Practical and achievable takeaways for participants.  

 

Submission Requirements 

Your submission must include 

• a 100-150 word abstract that clearly indicates what participants will learn and be able to apply in their own teaching contexts. 

• a concise workshop title (maximum 10 words).

Submissions for consideration by Thursday, 30 July, 2026.

Review process and presenter support 

Submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and applicants will be notified of the outcome as decisions are made. Upon acceptance, you will be required to submit a workshop plan (within a provided template). If required, support with workshop preparation will be provided. Prior to the conference, presenters will participate in at least one workshop run-through. This process is intended to support presenters and ensure practical, high-quality workshops that are relevant to the intended audience.

Teacher Talks is a professional learning event. Proposals intended primarily for marketing, promotion, or student recruitment will not be considered.
