Theme for 2024: Impact, Include, Inspire

The 2024 English Australia Conference will take place from September 11-13 in Perth (Boorloo), situated on Whadjuk Noongar Boodjar. This vibrant setting adds a significant layer of cultural richness to our exploration of the theme of ‘Impact, Include, Inspire.’ We will be evaluating the ways in which we impact, and are impacted by, our operational contexts and environments; exploring the ways in which we foster and attain inclusivity; and examining how, and from where, we draw inspiration while reflecting on how we in turn, through our people, processes, programs, and places, inspire those who trust us with their English language learning goals.

We envisage a conference where we hope to:

assess the impact of ELICOS on learners, institutions, and the broader community
discuss strategies for creating inclusive learning environments for students and teachers from diverse backgrounds
showcase inspirational examples of best practice from educational methodologies to program management
identify key value propositions which make ELICOS institutions stand out as inspirational choices for students and partners.
