About the Conference Theme:
The basic image of broadcasting is a farmer scattering seed more or less at random. This is what TV did in the 60s and 70s, sending out its shows to anybody who cared to watch. The concept of narrowcasting came in when it became possible to target TV broadcasts at a smaller, more specialised audience. So, the metaphor, as applied to teaching English makes a contrast between indiscriminate, one-size-fits-all methods approaches to teaching in the same way all over the world (and teaching the same English everywhere) and context-sensitive teaching methodology and content..
Just as we have become aware that English, as a newly global language is being adapted and shaped to suit a variety of local contexts, we must also be ready to adapt our teaching methodologies to local contexts.
The goal of this conference is to gather teachers together from far and wide, so they can share their techniques and approaches to teaching Englishes, not so we can all teach in the same way, but so that we can learn from each other how best to teach in our local context.
