International Association of TESOL & Education
The International Association of TESOL & Education (IATE) was founded in 2021, coinciding with the global impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Most schools, colleges, and universities were locked down. Three executive members of the Asia Association of Computer-Assisted Language Learning (AsiaCALL), Associate Professor Dr. Pham Vu Phi Ho (Industrial University of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam), Professor Andrew Lian (Suranaree University of Technology, Thailand), and Dr. Ania Lian (Charles Darwin University, Australia), discovered that teachers, professors, and educators around the world, especially in Asia, needed something more than CALL to share their teaching experiences and research. Therefore, the International Association of TESOL & Education came to life.
The IATE recognized the urgent need for a platform where educators could share their experiences and research, particularly in light of the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Hence, the International Association of TESOL & Education (IATE) is a crucial component of the IATE’s mission to promote language teaching and education globally. The conference program features keynote speeches, panel discussions, workshops, and paper presentations, covering a broad range of topics related to language teaching, education, and technology.
The International Conference of TESOL & Education (IATE) is the premier event for educators, researchers, and professionals in the field of language teaching and education. This conference offers a global platform for participants to share their expertise, exchange ideas, and connect with like-minded professionals. The International Association of TESOL & Education (IATE) serves as a platform for educators to connect and collaborate, particularly in the Asian region.
The IATE is designed to facilitate interdisciplinary conversations and collaborations among educators, researchers, and professionals from diverse backgrounds. Participants have the opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research, explore innovative teaching methods, and share their own experiences and insights with a global community of peers.
We welcome participants from all corners of the globe to join us at the International Conference of TESOL & Education. Whether you are an experienced educator, a new researcher, or a professional in a related field, this conference provides a valuable opportunity to expand your knowledge and network with other professionals in your field.

Furthermore, the IATE is a platform where its members can network, share work, and research interests with other professionals in the field to foster collaboration and advocate the use of new teaching methods, innovative tasks in classrooms, and technology in their educational environments. Selected full papers presented at the ICTE International Conferences and AsiaCALL International Conferences will be published in the ICTE Press with Open Access to share the participants’ research and teaching experiences.
Publication
In addition to the exciting program of keynote speeches, panel discussions, workshops, and paper presentations, the International Conferences mentioned above also provide participants with the opportunity to publish their research in the leading academic journals in the field.
The ICTE and AsiaCALL international conferences, as well as VietCALL, encourage participants to submit their papers to the International Journal of TESOL & Education, the International Journal of AI in Language Education, the International Journal of Language Instruction, the ICTE Conference Proceedings, or the Proceedings of the AsiaCALL International Conference.
