China, like many other countries, is experiencing rapid economic growth along with an increasing demand for English language teaching (ELT). To meet students’ needs requires effective teacher development, achieved through high-quality, sustainable ELT programs, policies, and practices. In this symposium, participants will learn in-depth about key issues in ELT language policy and teacher development, and how to apply the latest ELT research and innovative practice in China today.

The featured speakers at the symposium are Donald Freeman, Peter Grundy, David Nunan, Wang Qiang, Don Snow, David Graddol, Gong Yafu, Cai Jigang, Cheng Xiaotang, Liu Jun, Christine Coombe, Xia Jimei, and Wang Haixiao.
