LTLT 2019 primarily focuses on autonomy and motivation, the two prominently important attributes of language learners in the interconnected world. Learner autonomy can enable students to control their learning processes for better learning quality, and motivation can remarkably empower students' learning processes. In the context of technology-supported dominance which promotes demands for instant responsiveness, learners are always connected and multitask taking.

LTLT 2018 is to investigate the diversity and unity of different teaching and learning practices in the globalised context of language education. The event is a forum for both local insights and international perspectives to be shared and analysed for better understandings and more effective practices of the field. Provided with the pervasive numbers of technology-oriented learners, the language learning context of today has significantly different from that of the last few years. Almost every student comes to class with a smartphone and remains connected during all class meetings at a physical room.
