ICTE Conference Proceedings

Dear ICTE International Conference Participants,

Welcome to the Fifth International Conference on TESOL and Education (ICTE 2025), hosted with great generosity by the Hanoi University of Industry. Since its inception, ICTE has grown steadily in scope and influence, and this year marks another milestone in that journey. I warmly thank Hanoi University of Industry for its steadfast support, Ms. Le Duc Hanh, Secretary of the ICTE Conference, as well as Dr. Hoang Ngoc Tue, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thuy Nga and Ms. Nguyen Thi Minh Hanh for their outstanding organization. My gratitude also extends to the entire organizing committee and all those who have worked tirelessly to make this event possible, including our valued sponsors - Regional Office of English Language, U.S Embassy in Hanoi RELO together with ITEP International Company.

This year’s theme, AI-Powered Language Learning: Innovations and Future Directions, captures both the urgency and the opportunity that artificial intelligence presents to education. The research presented here addresses pressing questions in language learning today, ranging from pedagogy and assessment to inclusivity and access, while also mapping how AI might transform our field in the years to come.

With presentations from 26 countries, the conference reflects a truly global exchange of perspectives. These contributions explore how AI can enhance personalized learning, support multilingualism, foster learner autonomy, facilitate access between different communities and open new forms of collaboration between humans and technology. Together, they form a body of work that is practical, forward-looking, and rooted in current realities while attuned to emerging trends.

As we look to the future, we can envision language education that is more adaptive, equitable, and connected, driven not only by technological capability but also by ethical responsibility and cultural understanding. The insights shared here will help guide that journey, offering inspiration for educators, researchers, and learners worldwide.

On behalf of ICTE, I wish all participants an engaging, productive, and memorable conference. May the connections and friendships forged here inspire lasting collaborations and innovations.

Professor Dr. Andrew Lian

President of ICTE
