Theme: Developing teachers' and learners' academic language skills and abilities

The Symposium is organised by the Department of English at the City University of Hong Kong. It features plenary speakers in both Hong Kong and Overseas. There will also be on-site paper presentations and a discussion panel with experts from the field of English language education. With this hybrid mode of presentation, the joint Symposium will facilitate intellectual exchange between participants from different education contexts, despite geographical distance and time difference.
