Some of the Best Paper are as below:


Name & Affiliation: Todd Hull

Title: Implementing Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in the University EFL Classroom

Abstract: Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is a way to combine acquisition of a foreign language with study of substantive academic subjects at the university level. It has thus become justifiably popular in the university EFL teaching context. There are two main types of CLIL. One focuses on academic knowledge with a secondary goal of improving language competency. A second type prioritizes acquiring a second language with attaining knowledge of academic subjects as a secondary goal. This presentation will focus on this second type where language acquisition is the primary goal. In this category of CLIL, students are provided with information about an academic topic in summary form using language that is tailored towards gaining skills in the target language. They then do classroom activities that promote language acquisition. Though language acquisition is the primary goal here, learners engage with and gain important knowledge about academic topics. This gives students both language practice and an expansion of their knowledge. This combination of language practice and academic knowledge also helps prepare learners for language assessment tests such as the TOEFL and IELTS.


Name & Affiliation: Manhong Lai

Department of Educational Administration and Policy, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong

Title: How Applied Projects affect Academics’ Research in Mainland China

Abstract: The Chinese government actively promote knowledge transfer from universities to the business world to facilitate economic development in recent years. Policies promulgate to strongly encourage academics’ participation in applied projects. This study employed a qualitative research method to interview 32 informants in one first-tier and one third-tier university in Mainland China. Our study observed first that academics faced a limited problem choice in applied projects. Second, enterprises exerted detailed control of the process of conducting a project. Third, academics spent a lot of effort to gain a funder’s trust through speaking business language and ensuring the least risk. Some tried to retain a certain amount of professional space to persuade the funder not to stick to an outdated approach.


Name & Affiliation: Janine Rose

Institute for the Study of University Pedagogy, University of Toronto, Mississauga, Canada

Title: Peer Support in Writing Classrooms: A Consideration of Experiences and Best Practices

Abstract: Peer support is well known in various educational contexts and is often advocated as an activity that is focused on facilitating the learning of individuals in a variety of age groups through practical support that is usually offered by individuals in the same age group as the individuals being helped by the peer supporters. Peer supporters, however, have slightly more expertise in the relevant subject matter than the students who are the recipient of the support being offered. This paper shares lessons learned from a peer support activity that was implemented in the form of a speaker series for a first-year writing composition course entitled Writing for University and Beyond where students were introduced to writing studies scholarship. Specifically, the paper emphasizes that peer support mechanisms can be successfully implemented if peer supporters are offered sufficient guidance on the nature of their role in the classroom. The paper also highlights that instructors can learn about strategies that may be useful in their own pedagogical practices from the guidance offered by peer supporters. This analysis will enhance understanding of how peer support works and can be used in a writing class room, best practices for using peer support and areas of further research that may prove to be fruitful in relation to this topic.

Title: The Value of Stories in Writing Pedagogy

Abstract: Stories can be used in an intentional way by instructors to make connections between difficult or important concepts in a specific subject and personal experiences or observations. The use of storytelling has been known to stimulate greater student engagement, enhance students’ ability to recall information and encourage a more welcoming atmosphere in a classroom. As such, this paper examines the value of stories or storying for strengthening writing pedagogy. Specifically, the paper considers how stories related to academic integrity, the complicated nature of the use of rhetorical appeals in a social media context and the distinct nature of boundaries in discourse communities that label themselves as secret societies help students to understand core concepts in a first year composition course. The paper ends with reflections on how the writer (and other instructors) can be more intentional with the use of stories in teaching practice.


Name & Affiliation: Hye Pae

School of Education, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S.A.

Title: The Effects of Literacy on The Mind: Writing System Effects on Cognition and Learning

Abstract: This talk unfolds a driving force behind the software of the mind as the consequences of literacy. At the crux is the writing system in which we read on paper and on screen everyday. To understand how reading in different writing systems yields different cognitive maps and how writing systems shape our cognition and learning, the talk discusses how language affects the ways in which we think and perceive the world, and then moves on to how reading changes our perception, preference, and brain circuitry. Psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic examples and evidence are provided. Given the significant impact of multimedia, hypermedia, and social media, the effects of reading in the digital era become even more important than ever before. The talk ends with ongoing discussion points related to the consequences of literacy in different writing systems.
