PLENARY SPEAKERS
Topic Title:
Corrective Feedback: Pedagogical and Theoretical Perspectives
Author/Affiliation:
Dr. Rod Ellis
University of Auckland
Summary:
This talk will first consider corrective feedback from a pedagogical perspective by
examining what teacher guides recommend. These have addressed five key
questions:
• Should learners’ errors be corrected?
• When should learners’ errors be corrected?
• Which errors should be corrected?
• How should errors be corrected?
• Who should do the correcting?
The talk will then examine three theoretical perspectives on corrective feedback: UGbased views of corrective feedback, cognitive-interactionist accounts of corrective
feedback and sociocultural accounts of corrective feedback. These theoretical
perspectives provide the basis for examining some of the key debates in SLA about
the role of corrective feedback in L2 acquisition:
• The relative efficacy of recasts and prompts
• The relative efficacy of implicit as opposed to explicit corrective feedback
• The need for ‘graduated’ feedback
6
Finally, the talk will return to the key pedagogical questions and propose a number of
general principles to guide the practice of corrective feedback in the light of the
research findings.
Topic Title:
Revisiting Reflections in Learning, Teaching and Research
Author/Affiliation:
Dr. Pornapit Darasawang
School of Liberal Arts, King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi
Abstract:
Reflective learning has increasing been adopted in language learning and teaching for a range
of reasons, such as encouraging learners to be aware of their learning performance. In teacher
education, it has also been used to help teachers, both novice and experienced, to be more
aware of their teaching. This paper presents the results of how reflections were used with
three different groups: a learner, trainee teachers and a novice researcher. The reflections
from the learner came from the student who engaged in independent learning. The reflections
from the trainee teachers were collected during their 12-week practicum in a secondary
school. The reflections from the novice researcher were from a PhD student who recorded
the progress of her research. The content of the extracts will be analysed to show the key
concerns and critical issues as well as incidental learning happening in the process of
reflection to highlight the commonalities of reflective learning across three disparate groups.
Bio:
Associate Professor Dr.Pornapit Darasawang is Dean of the School of Liberal Arts, King
Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) and the Director of Studies of the

the University of Edinburgh. She has been involved in teacher training and has given
lectures in the seminars and workshops concerning self-access learning and qualitative
research. Her areas of interest are learner autonomy, learner training, how students learn, and
motivation in language learning. She has publications both in the journals and in the books in
those areas and also in language learning policy. She has also served many editorial boards of
both the International and the National journals.

Topic Title:
Mapping border knowledge: Insights from EAP and CLIL
Author/Affiliation:
John Adamson, Ed.D.
University of Niigata Prefecture, Japan
Abstract:
This presentation investigates the ways in which English for Academic Purposes
(EAP) practitioners engage in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) and
outlines the growing need for them to ‘map’ their knowledge of disciplinary border
crossings. EAP work is frequently undertaken by language specialists who endeavor
to make their syllabi relevant to the needs of students in academic contexts. These
needs are often assumed or misinterpreted, resulting in an EAP faculty marginalized
within the larger institution. To counter this problem, EAP specialists who integrate
content knowledge into their practice need to reflect upon how they interact with nonEAP faculty in various types of border crossings. This requires them to engage with
the concepts of interdisciplinarity, collegiality, and collaboration. Drawing upon
teaching contexts in Europe and Asia, consideration of these three themes illustrate
how local ‘mapping’ in interdisciplinary collaboration is essential to make
collaboration between language and content specialists successful.

practice. The co-editor of Innovating EFL Teaching in Asia (Palgrave, 2012), he is
currently interested in interdisciplinarity, and developing journal editorial practice.

Topic Title:
Global Trends in Language Learning and Teaching: A Case Study of Singapore
Author/Affiliation:
Dr. Phyllis Ghim-Lian Chew
Nanyang Technological University
Abstract:
The economic success of Singapore is relatively well known but few understand the close
interplay of politics, economics and linguistics that lie behind the success story. More
obvious and publicized reasons which are attributed to its economic success and displayed in
the media include its efficient port, airport, airline, civil service, oil refining capacities, and
financial center. Others point to the prescriptions of a free and open economy, worker
productivity, and budgetry surpluses. This paper provides a glimpse of the lesser known
language learning and language teaching policies and their relationship to global trends and
pragmatic economic concerns.
More specifically, this paper examines strategies undertaken by schools and educators in
Singapore to improve English language competencies. It examines how in their efforts to
improve English language competencies, educators have had to basically recognize three
essential language components, that is, the communicative, the pragmatic and the
pedagogical, all of which are interlinked with the corresponding dimensions of intelligibility,
comprehensibility and interpretability. These components interplay with teaching and
learning in an age of globalization where issues of language identity, language standards and
language teaching methodology are matters of primary and public concern.
Bio:
Dr Phyllis Ghim-Lian Chew is a tenured professor at the National institute of Education,
Nanyang Technological University. She teaches language methodology, pragmatics and
sociolinguistics. She is widely published and has been an invited keynote &/or plenary for
9
many international conferences. Her latest books are: Emergent Lingua Franca (New York :
Routledge 2009) and A sociolinguistic history of Singapore (Basinstroke:Palgrave, 2013).
She is also the project advisor for the series of the textbook for primary schools in Singapore
entitled In-Step: a course book of English for Singapore Schools and a past President of the
English Language and Literature Association of Singapore.
