Language Learning in Asia: The Student's View

Language educators in Asia frequently discuss foreign language
teaching at national and international conferences, yet rarely have the
opportunity to sit down and listen to the beneficiaries of their teaching -
their students. Students at schools and universities throughout Asia spend
many years studying English and other foreign languages, yet are rarely
given the chance to speak out about their language learning ideas, feelings
and experiences. This Asian Youth Forum panel discussion will feature an
international slate of Asian youth who will give their views and opinions
in English on foreign language learning and teaching. Topics will include
foreign language textbooks, language courses, language testing and language
teaching methods.
