- An honor and a privilege to have served as a keynote speaker at the inaugural FCLE conference held at FPT’s Can Tho campus. As a first-time visitor to Vietnam, the experience was all the more significant for me professionally and culturally. The conference theme, "Rethinking Pedagogical and Methodological Approaches to (Online) Language Teaching and Learning," embodies a genuine commitment to reforming and enhancing local English language teaching practices, as well as an earnest effort to achieve this through creating an international network of like-minded scholars and practitioners. The FCLE conference, meticulously programmed and effectively implemented by a dedicated and innovative team of organizers, provided attendees with an intellectually stimulating and culturally enriching experience that promises to have a lasting impact -
- I was so impressed by the professionalism of the conference committee. The care, attention, and respect shown to me was beyond my expectations. I had a long conversation with Prof Dan Wessner before the dinner. I was telling him how this conference created a great imbalance in terms of giving and receiving, for me personally. What I was able to give as an “expert” was probably much less compared to what I received—the cultural experience, the learning, the exemplary care and attention, the hospitality. You helped me get rid of my sense of guilt about not visiting Vietnam earlier.
You have created a wonderful forum through this academic festival which can be nurtured for the future. I will be happy to be part of any collaborative efforts resulting from this event.
Thank you for making me indebted to you -
- Thank you for welcoming me so warmly.
I am back at work and yet cannot forget how happy and honoured you and your team made me feel in Can Tho.
Congratulations! FCLE was definitely a success -
- Thank you very much for your warm welcome and care during the event. It was my honor and pleasure to collaborate with you and your team. FCLE 2024 gave the audience lots of food for thought, I believe. I do hope to have more opportunities to work with you in the future -
Dr. Phan Thi Thanh Huyen
- It was a nice opportunity for me to attend the FCLE and listen to new ideas and inspiring research findings from our plenary speakers and participants. The FCLE organizers have worked effectively to facilitate the presenters as well as the listeners. Thanks a lot for your hospitality and support. I hope to see you all at FCLE 2025 -
