Researching, teaching, and learning in Chile: Personal, social and virtual representations. 

4th RICELT Biannual Conference(Red de Investigación Chilena en ELT)

Zoom Live – June 11th, 2021

Call for papers: March 15 – April 16 2021 (Closed)

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:

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.

It is expected that participants will benefit from the meeting by sharing their work and obtaining helpful feedback to keep on developing our field. All presentations will be conducted in English.
