National Conference on Language and Literature : Language and Literature at the Crossroads: Research Routes, Learning Landscapes, Teaching Terrains

The Department of English and Comparative Literature of the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman, the College English Teachers' Association, and the Council of Department of Chairpersons of English, in partnership with Primetrade Asia, Inc. will hold the National Conference on Language and Literature with the theme Language and Literature at the Crossroads: Research Routes, Learning Landscapes, Teaching Terrains on September 10-12, 2013 at the SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City.

The National Conference on Language and Literature is a three-day conference gathers educators, writers, and scholars from the different parts of the archipelago to discuss issues and challenges affecting the disciplines of language and literature.

The signing of R.A.10533 or the Enhanced Basic Education Act on May 15, 2013 makes it imperative for our educational system to examine its present language and literature curriculum, instruction, and learning resources in light of the implementation of the K to 12 Education Program and the use of the mother tongue as the medium of instruction in the lower grades.

With the theme “Language and Literature at the Crossroads: Research Routes, Learning Landscapes, Teaching Terrains,” the conference highlights Memorial Lectures in honor of three distinguished language and literature educators: Nieves Epistola, Maria Clara Ravina and Milagros Tanlayco. A panel of scholars will do a round-table discussion on K-12 and a panel of guest entertainment celebrities will talk about their engagements with literature.
