Organized by the Department of English, Faculty of Liberal Arts, Thammasat University.The Conference invites ELT teachers, researchers, teacher educators and decision makers to exchange, discuss and develop their ideas on the challenges of the digital world. he Department of English and Linguistics, Faculty of Liberal Arts, Thammasat University will host an international conference on “ELT in the Digital Age.” It is undeniable that the role of English language as the primary medium of communication for world citizens has become increasingly important in the digital age. Over recent years, English language teaching has undergone considerable change shaped by a variety of factors including individual needs, learning styles, cultural values, multiculturalism, and digital innovations. However, pathways to success in teaching English to ESL and EFL learners can be a challenging task as there is no specific language teaching formula that suits learners in all contexts. It should be incumbent on individual teachers to be aware of academic developments within the field of ELT in order to apply different teaching approaches appropriate for their students. Insights into these academic developments will not only broaden our knowledge of English language teaching in the digital age but also provide a valuable forum for all participants to gain understanding of various issues in ELT through academic exchanges and discussions.
