This year’s convention theme focuses on the concept of new competences in the EFL classroom. Within such a dynamic and ever-changing world, where mobility is a must and cultural diversity a reality, it becomes increasingly important to foster global competence in English, thus enabling the learner to successfully build bridges between these emerging realities. The implementation of competence-based approaches in English language education goes beyond the promotion of communicative competence to include a wider array of personal, intercultural, professional as well as linguistic competences that will help individuals cope with their most immediate surroundings as new circumstances and challenges emerge time and time again. We welcome presentations which deal with the concepts of new competences and building bridges as well as those which will be of wide general interest for language teachers working in different teaching sectors and with students of all ages.
