Welcome to TaiwanCALL & TESPA 2027
We are pleased to announce the 2027 International TaiwanCALL & TESPA Joint Conference, jointly organized by the R.O.C. Air Force Academy, the TaiwanCALL Association, and the Taiwan ESP Association, with generous guidance and support from the Center for Language Studies at National Chung Cheng University (CCU) and the Office of Bilingual Education at Wenzao Ursuline University of Languages.
The conference brings researchers, educators, and practitioners together to explore pedagogy and practice in technology-enhanced language learning, with a focus on innovation, inclusion, and humanity. Discussions will connect state-of-the-art technology with educational equity, digital ethics, and professional communication.
We invite senior scholars, early-career researchers, and graduate students from Taiwan and around the world to share insights on technologies used in EGP, ESP, EMI, CLIL, and professional language education. The official presentation language is English; research on the learning and teaching of other languages is warmly welcomed.
