The ELRC also engages students from the English Language Teaching (ELT) programme and offers real-world teaching contexts to encourage the methodological applications of linguistic theories. The centre periodically organises seminars, symposiums, teaching and learning workshops and roundtable discussions in order to brainstorm innovative ways to enhance students’ sociolinguistic knowledge and communicative competence while providing recommendations to in-service language teachers as well as policymakers.
