About the Theme<\/h2>\n

Foreign Language Education in the 21st Century: Review, Re-conceptualise and Re-align<\/h4>\n

When the past millennium came to close, much has been debated about what skills need to be acquired in this globalised, technologically-advanced, and fast-changing world compared to the traditional model of learning as accumulating knowledge. Concepts of \u201c21st<\/sup> Century Skills\u201d have been proposed by many organisations and stake-holders. For example, Partnership for 21st<\/sup> Century Skills (P21) identified 3R (Reading, wRiting, and aRithmetic) and 7C skills (Critical Thinking and Problem-solving, Creativity and Innovation, Collaboration, Teamwork, and Leadership, Cross-cultural Understanding, Communication and Media Fluency, Computing and ICT Fluency, and Career and Learning Self-reliance) as a framework for the skills. Two decades have elapsed since the beginning of the 21st<\/sup> century, and perhaps it is now time to review, re-conceptualise, and re-align our understanding of roles of \u201cForeign Language Education\u201d in the 21st<\/sup> Century. CLaSIC 2022 provides a platform for researchers, scholars and practitioners in foreign language education to discuss the following questions. What are the skills to be acquired through foreign language education? What are the roles of foreign language teachers and learners? How should culture be incorporated in foreign language education? How has multilingualism contributed to the understanding of language acquisition process? How can technologies enhance language learning? What type of collaboration can we build with the communities? What impact can disruptive pedagogy give to foreign language education? What additional aspects are required to develop curriculum and materials? How can we assess and evaluate new skills and competencies? How can we support teachers\u2019 development? What are tools and methodologies to contribute to our better understanding on foreign language education? In CLaSIC 2020, we hope to engage in an invigorating discourse on theoretical conceptions and approaches, research insights, and practical experiences from the various sub-fields and sub-themes.<\/p>\n
