On October 14, 2017, Premier William Lai (賴清德) said he would instruct the Ministry of Education (MOE) to establish a promotional committee on making English the nation’s second official language. Legislators and educators called on the government to make English the nation’s second language, with recommendations to allocate money from the Cabinet’s Forward-looking Infrastructure Development Plan to achieve the objective. As this move might form a policy in the future, our profession needs to voice our views or concerns about the new development in Taiwan. Similarly, globalization with rapid local changes stimulates innovative views in our profession and calls for contingent practices in teaching. At this juncture, the Department of Foreign Languages and Literature at Feng Chia University will hold the sixth biennial International Conference on Foreign Languages and Literature Teaching on October 19-20, 2018. You are invited to submit a proposal to share ideas. After the conference, we plan to publish the refereed papers in book form hopefully in the spring of 2020.
