This includes the K to 12 basic education curriculum, the upgrading of the general education program, and the outcomes- and typology-based quality assurance in higher education. Being concrete forms of educational change, various stakeholders are preparing to manage their implementation and impact. In particular, these reforms will require modifications in all spheres of language teaching: matter, methods, materials, measurement, mentees’ needs that must be met, and mentors’ roles to achieve the goal of developing functionally literate citizens equipped with “21 st Century skills” capable of meeting the demands of the new digital economy where English is for now the global lingua franca. With these challenges in mind, the Philippine Association for Language Teaching (PALT) Inc. focuses on the theme “Managing Change” for its 2012 Summer Conference. Objectives After taking part in this conference that focuses on strengthening teachers’ capabilities in managing change, participants are expected to: 1. affirm their roles as change managers in light of the education reform initiatives that have bearing on the professional discipline of language education; 2. explore potentials of indigenous materials and contexts in developing language skills in one’s mother tongue and in the target language in the early years; 3. realize the need for teaching approaches that facilitate the transfer of language skills from one’s mother tongue to the target language; 4. articulate implications of a standards-based view of language teaching in basic education, higher education, and technical-vocational education; and 5. formulate a research agenda that will help monitor and evaluate the outcomes of changes in language teaching brought about by state education reforms. 2 Program of Activities Day 1: Thursday, May 3, 2012 Prof. Aurelio P.
