Bringing applied linguistics to the community: Discussions on two community engagement projects within the field

Description

This talk focused on ways to bridge the gap between scholars and people in need of academic support. In this presentation, we explore two recent community engagement projects: (1) a free ESL education program in collaboration with K-12 schools in the United States, and (2) a free public lecture series for EFL teachers in Hong Kong. By examining our own projects in these juxtaposing contexts, we attempt to showcase the joys, challenges, benefits, and hiccups that come when doing community engagement work.
