Where pedagogical passion meets the human heart. Dedicated to the belief that language teaching transcends exams and grammar — nurturing learner well-being, unlocking future-ready agency, and forging lifelong professional bonds across our classrooms and communities.
Mekong TESOL was established in 2016 to create a professional forum where English language educators, researchers, and educational organisations can connect, exchange knowledge, and explore new directions in language education.
Rooted in the Mekong Delta while increasingly connected to the wider TESOL community, Mekong TESOL biannually brings together international perspectives and regional realities through academic presentations, professional learning, and collaboration.
Across five editions, the conference has grown into a continuing platform for sharing research, classroom practice, innovation, and ideas that respond to the evolving needs of English language education.
Mekong TESOL 2026 marked another important milestone in our 10-year journey of academic exchange and community building. This was made possible through the close collaboration of three organizing units: the Can Tho City Department of Education and Training, Gia Viet English Language Center, and the University of Wollongong.
Through valuable contributions of our 8 featured speakers and the support of our sponsors, Mekong TESOL 2026 became a space where global insights met regional realities, bridging international scholarship, classroom practice, and professional growth needs.
A synergistic collaboration connecting regional authority, local educational leadership, and global research.
The Can Tho Department of Education and Training provides the regulatory framework and strategic oversight for the conference. By approving organizational plans and coordinating with local institutions, the Department ensures the event aligns with regional educational standards and teacher professional development goals.
Established in 2009, Gia Viet Foreign Language Center delivers quality English instruction to over 4,000 students across the Mekong region. As the lead organizer, Gia Viet oversees logistics, financial planning, speaker coordination, and systematic documentation to ensure a seamless international conference experience.
A leading Australian university in educational research and teacher preparation, UOW maintains a continuous partnership with Gia Viet. Drawing from its renowned Master’s in TESOL curriculum, UOW guarantees international pedagogical rigor, connects global researchers, and fosters cross-cultural academic exchange.
