\nIn today\u2019s rapidly changing and interconnected world, the field of English language teaching (ELT) faces both new opportunities and complex challenges, calling for a shift toward a more future-ready approach. Such an approach involves fostering intercultural understanding, global citizenship, and multiple literacies\u2014including digital, media, and multilingual competencies. To achieve these aims, learners are encouraged to engage in diverse cultural and experiential contexts that cross geographical, cultural, and institutional boundaries, supported by digital
\nlearning tools and interdisciplinary collaboration. Recognizing this need for innovation and adaptability, the 43rd International
\nConference on English Teaching and Learning (ETRA 2026) adopts \u201cFuture-ready ELT for Global Challenges\u201d as its central theme. The conference explores how English teaching and learning can evolve through technological, pedagogical, and creative innovation while remaining grounded in meaningful, learner-centered engagement. At its core, future-ready ELT emphasizes the importance of preparing teachers and learners to face the future with confidence by integrating emerging technologies such as AI, nurturing 21st-century skills that include critical thinking, creative problem-solving, intercultural communication, and digital literacy, and by using English as a platform for meaningful engagement with global challenges, including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).<\/p>\n
