How social media is changing the DNA of professional development<br />
Ann Foreman (British Council, Bilbao)<br />
This talk discusses how social media is changing the basic building blocks<br />
of learning, and with it, the DNA of professional development. We no longer<br />
look to educational institutions as the sole sources of information and<br />
training. Now we also want to know how our friends and colleagues are<br />
learning, faring and developing in the virtual world.<br />

economy<br />
Rosemary Orlando (Southern New Hampshire University, <strong>Manchester</strong>,<br />
NH, USA)<br />
In response to the ever-changing landscape in ELT, brought about by<br />
globalization and technological advancement, Vietnam is addressing the<br />
quality of its ELT curricula and is struggling to raise the bar on teacher<br />
standards. I will explain how English language teacher educators working<br />
in Vietnam need to understand socioeconomic implications in relation to<br />
Vietnam’s culture and its effects on ELT.<br />
