Rationale The dynamic and complex nature of English language

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.
