Vol. 11 (2026): AI in Research, Teacher Development, and Professional Practice

Dear beloved TESOLers & Educators,

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 6th International Conference of TESOL & Education (ICTE 2026), hosted at the Industrial University of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, on 15–16 August 2026, under the theme:

“AI in Research, Teacher Development, and Professional Practice.”

This year, ICTE 2026 has received an impressive 244 abstract submissions from 480 authors representing 29 countries and territories, reflecting the growing international reach of our academic community and our shared commitment to advancing research, innovation, and professional practice in TESOL and education.

ICTE 2026 provides a dynamic forum for researchers, educators, practitioners, and emerging scholars to exchange ideas, present research findings, develop international collaborations, and explore the transformative role of artificial intelligence in education. The conference also offers valuable publication opportunities through ICTE journals and conference proceedings, while selected high-quality papers may be considered for publication in Scopus-indexed journals and an edited book with Springer Nature.

More importantly, ICTE is a scholarly community built upon connection, collaboration, knowledge sharing, and professional growth. We hope that ICTE 2026 will inspire meaningful conversations, new research partnerships, and innovative directions for teaching, research, and professional practice.

We sincerely thank our host institution, keynote and invited speakers, presenters, participants, reviewers, organizing committees, partners, and supporters for making ICTE 2026 possible.

Welcome to ICTE 2026, and we wish you an inspiring, productive, and memorable conference.
