In response to the evolving demands of English language education across Southeast Asia, the British Council today announced the ASEAN TeachingEnglish Online Conference 2025: Adapting to Change, an innovative, multi-format professional development event aimed at English language teachers, educators, and policy-makers across ASEAN.

Running from 14 to 30 October 2025, the online conference will provide free, high-impact training and
thought leadership to support English language professionals working in complex and rapidly evolving
educational environments. From the rise of AI in classrooms to policy shifts across ASEAN nations,
English language teaching faces increasing pressure to adapt. This conference is designed not just to
respond—but to lead. It also reflects the British Council’s commitment to supporting regional development goals through English language education as a tool for opportunity, connection, and innovation.


“As ASEAN nations navigate rapid social, economic, and technological change, English remains a vital
enabler of regional integration, mobility, and opportunity. This conference is a platform for cross-cultural
collaboration, innovation, and resilience. By bringing together educators from across the region, we are
not only sharing effective practices but also shaping a more connected and adaptive future for English
language teaching in Southeast Asia,” said Eilidh Hamilton, Regional Cultural Engagement Director,
East Asia.

Unlike traditional webinars or static presentations, the 2025 conference will feature: live and recorded
keynote sessions with global and regional experts in adaptive teaching, expert panels focused on crossborder collaboration and resilience strategies, short-form teaching showcases from real classrooms in across the region and a digital poster gallery highlighting evidence-based practices and practitioner
research. With sessions covering AI in ELT, skills-based learning, education in crisis contexts, and
teacher leadership, the conference reflects the realities teachers face today and prepares them for what’s next.

“ASEAN TeachingEnglish is a great opportunity for English teachers in the Philippines to learn from global
experts, regional leaders as well as fellow classroom teachers, and gain practical tools to help enrich their students’ language learning experience. The conference will be held online, is completely free, and is open to all. Teachers should not miss this chance to connect, learn, and grow with fellow educators across the region,” added Lotus Postrado, Country Director of the British Council in the Philippines.

The British Council is working with educators, ministries, universities, and teacher associations across
Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, the Philippines, Malaysia, Laos and Cambodia to ensure
locally grounded content, delivered through a unified regional platform. Sessions will be broadcast in
accessible time zones and streamed live to social media, ensuring broad participation. With a focus on
classroom-ready tools, scalable development models, and low-tech solutions in high-need
settings, the conference aims to have a long-term impact on how English is taught and learnt across
ASEAN. Outcomes will be measured through a combination of engagement metrics, feedback surveys,
and follow-up studies assessing how teachers apply strategies in their own classrooms.
