SUB THEME TRACK 1: NORTH EAST SPECIFIC THEMES (NEST)IT IS IMPORTANT TO SHINE A SPOTLIGHT ON THIS VERY IMPORTANT REGION THAT IS OF
GEO-POLITICAL, BIOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE. THE LITERACY RATES OF THE
NORTHEAST ARE HIGHER THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. THE REGION BOASTS OF SOME 220
LANGUAGES THAT BELONG TO MULTIPLE LANGUAGE FAMILIES FROM INDO-EUROPEAN TO
SINO-TIBETAN, TO KRAI-DAI, TO AUSTROASIATIC TO CREOLES. WITH 60% FOREST COVER, SIX
OF THE NINE IMPORTANT VEGETATION TYPES OF INDIA, HIGH AVIAN, FAUNAL AND FLORAL
DIVERSITY, AND HOME TO MANY INDIGENOUS TRIBES, THIS REGION NEEDS TO BE
REPRESENTED MUCH MORE TO GIVE VOICE TO THE RICH CULTURAL AND ETHNOLINGUISTIC
DIVERSITY IT HAS PRESERVED.
“THEY SAY A LANDSCAPE DROPS FROM HEAVEN TANGLED WITH POSSIBILITIES AND A
SUMMER SUN THAT DIRECTS THE PERFECT BALANCE BETWEEN THE MOMENT AND THE
WORD WHEN EVERYTHING FALLS INTO PLACE. YOUR LAUGHTER OPENS THE WORLD,CREATING SPACE.”— MAMANG DAI, ‘THE DESIRE OF INK’PAPERS ON THIS SUBTHEME TRACK COULD FOCUS ON, BUT NOT BE LIMITED BY THE
FOLLOWING TOPICS:

LITERATURE(S) OF NORTHEAST AND THE INDIAN KNOWLEDGE SYSTEMLANGUAGE ENDANGERMENT IN THE NORTHEAST AND ITS PRESERVATION PRACTICE

THE SUB-THEMES OF THIS YEAR’S ANNUAL CONFERENCE.
“TO READ IS TO FLY: IT IS TO SOAR TO A POINT OF VANTAGE THAT GIVES A VIEW OVER WIDETERRAINS OF HISTORY, HUMAN VARIETY, IDEAS, SHARED EXPERIENCE AND THE FRUITS OF
MANY INQUIRIES.”— A.C. GRAYLINGTHE QUOTE EXEMPLIFIES HOW IMPORTANT READING IS. EQUALLY POWERFUL IS THE
QUESTION THAT THE QUOTE PROVOKES AT A PHILOSOPHICAL LEVEL OF WHAT READING IS.
IS IT AN ACT OF CONSUMPTION OR PRODUCTION? HOW DOES READING BECOME A CREATIVE
ACT? WHAT ARE THE WAYS IN WHICH READING BUILDS KNOWLEDGE? EXTENDING THESEQUESTIONS ARE FURTHER REFLECTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE ONE READ, WHAT TO READ,
HOW TO READ, AND WHAT TO DO POST-READING. IS READING IN AND OF ITSELF SUFFICIENT?
ARE THERE WAYS AND MEANS TO FOSTER A CULTURE OF READING? ARE THERE PRACTICESONE COULD EMULATE? HOW DOES MULTIMODALITY AFFECT THE PRACTICE OF READING?
WHAT ROLE CAN TECHNOLOGY PLAY? WE INVITE SHARING OF PRACTICES, REFLECTIONSAND SUGGESTIONS TO ENSURE THAT INDIA READS.

PAPERS ON THIS SUBTHEME TRACK COULD FOCUS ON, BUT NOT BE LIMITED BY THE
FOLLOWING TOPICS:DEVELOPING READING COMPETENCIES AT DIFFERENT LEVELSSTORYTELLING AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING

WOMEN WHO ARE CAPABLE OF DOING NEW THINGS, NOT SIMPLY REPEATING WHAT OTHER
GENERATIONS HAVE DONE.”— JEAN PIAGET

PEDAGOGICAL METHODS THROUGH VISUAL NARRATIVESASSESSMENT IN THE 21ST CENTURY RESEARCH AREAS AND METHODSSUB THEME TRACK 4: LANGUAGE, LITERATURES AND TECHNOLOGY (LA LI T)
HOW CAN WE LEAVE OUT TECHNOLOGY IN THESE TIMES WHEN TECH SEEMS TO HAVE TAKENOVER OUR WORLDS? THE RAPID GROWTH OF AI FOR INSTANCE HAS MADE US RETHINK WHATLEARNING MEANS, WHAT CREATIVITY IS AND ENTAILS, AND WHAT ARE THE ETHICS OFCOMMUNICATION, ESPECIALLY IN A MEDIA-EXHAUSTED, POST-TRUTH WORLD OF CANCELCULTURE AND FAKE NEWS. IT HAS, AT THE SAME TIME, PROVIDED TOOLS THAT SHIFT OUR
UNDERSTANDING TOWARDS COMPETENCIES RATHER THAN MERE SKILLING. THE
SUB-THEMES UNDER THIS CATEGORY ARE NOT LIMITED TO WHAT IS LISTED HEREIN. WE INVITESUBMISSIONS ACROSS THE SPECTRUM OF TEACHING, LEARNING, AND ASSESSING.
“OUR TOOLS ARE NOT ALWAYS AT OUR BECK AND CALL. THE LESS WE KNOW ABOUT THEM,
THE MORE LIKELY IT IS THAT THEY WILL COMMAND US, RATHER THAN THE OTHER WAY

FUTURE FOR ALL. AS PEACE IS INCREASINGLY DISTURBED BY ECONOMIC, CLIMATIC, AND
ETHNIC INEQUITIES, WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW LITERATURE AND LANGUAGE
TEACHING ARE STRATEGISING FOR SUCH ISSUES. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO TEACH ENGLISH
AS A LANGUAGE IN INDIA TODAY? WHAT ROLE DOES LITERATURE PLAY IN THE ENGLISH
CLASSROOM? WHAT KINDS OF VALUES CAN THE TEACHING AND LEARNING OF ENGLISH
FOSTER? DRAWING ON THE EXPANDING CONTOURS OF ENGLISH STUDIES THAT CHALLENGEDISCIPLINARY DIVIDES AND URGE INTEGRATED, HOLISTIC APPROACHES TO LANGUAGELEARNING, WE NEED TO RECONCEPTUALISE OUR IMAGINATION OF ENGLISH CLASSROOMSAS SPACES OF CREATIVITY, DIALOGUE AND COMMUNICATION THAT WEAVE NORMATIVE
PRINCIPLES INTO LANGUAGE STUDIES. EXPLORATIONS OF THESE VALUES CAN INCLUDE
BUT NEED NOT BE RESTRICTED TO SOCIAL, ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE,HUMAN RIGHTS, DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION (DEI), PLURALISM, EMPATHY,COMPASSION, DIALOGUE AND INCLUSION. INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONS RECOGNISE
SEVERAL 21ST-CENTURY COMPETENCIES NECESSARY TO BE EFFECTIVE GLOBAL CITIZENS,SUCH AS CRITICAL THINKING, CREATIVITY, COMMUNICATION, COLLABORATION, SEL,
INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCE, SUSTAINABLE THINKING, AND RESPONSIBLE PRODUCTION
AND CONSUMPTION (OF KNOWLEDGE), TO NAME A FEW. FOR THE LANGUAGE CLASSROOMS,CRITICAL AND CULTURAL LITERACIES BECOME ADDED COMPETENCIES THAT ASSIMILATE
PRINCIPLES OF DEI AND SUSTAINABILITY FOR CREATING RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS.
"WHAT MAKES A CHILD GIFTED AND TALENTED MAY NOT ALWAYS BE GOOD GRADES INSCHOOL, BUT A DIFFERENT WAY OF LOOKING AT THE WORLD AND LEARNING."— CHUCK GRASSLEY
SOME QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER MAY BE: WHAT KINDS OF CONTENT ENABLE DISCUSSIONSAROUND THESE VALUES? HOW DO THESE VALUES INFORM STRATEGIES FOR CONTENTCURATION AND CREATION IN ENGLISH STUDIES? WHAT ARE SOME PEDAGOGICAL PRAXESTHAT CAN STRENGTHEN THESE VALUES AND COMPETENCIES? WHAT FORMS SHOULD
VALUE- AND COMPETENCY-BASED ASSESSMENTS TAKE IN ENGLISH CLASSROOMS? HOWCAN TECHNOLOGY BE EFFECTIVELY LEVERAGED TO MOBILISE DEI AND DISCOURSES
AROUND SOCIAL AND ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE IN THE ENGLISH CLASSROOM?
HENCE, PAPERS ON THIS SUBTHEME TRACK COULD FOCUS ON, BUT NOT BE LIMITED BY
