Rationale The dynamic and complex nature of English language and teaching has always challenged and motivated researchers and practitioners to think and discuss how to study and teach it in innovative ways. In addition, the strengthening role of English amid several international languages has led to changes on the English curriculum and teaching approaches. To mention some among the many changes, learners are required to be more active and critical, the four language skills should receive equal attention, and alternative assessment is encouraged. These changes are also informed by research findings both in the teaching language itself and in language and literature. As it is known that the interconnectedness between language studies and language teaching including English is always reciprocal. Shaping new trends of teaching English and studies is induced by the facts mentioned above. It is important for researchers and practitioners in English language teaching and studies to share ideas, informed- based practices, and research findings and the like in order to solve problems and gain new insights. Findings of research in linguistics, applied linguistics, literature, and the teaching of English as a foreign and second language will not only be useful in each corresponding field, but also across the fields of studies. The English Language and Teaching Department of Universitas Negeri Padang (State University of Padang), Indonesia holds the Third International Seminar on English Language and Teaching (SELT-3) with the purpose of bringing up to the forum an issue of shaping new trends in English language teaching and studies.
