Professor Christine Goh delivered a keynote address at the 18^th CONAPLIN (International Conference on Applied Linguistics Indonesia) International Conference held on 29^th and 30^th September in Bandung, Indonesia.

Entitled “Bilingual language learners’ oracy as competence for flourishing and influencing their world”, Prof Goh argued for the need to understand the construct of oracy as more than just listening and speaking and help language learners develop a new identity as bilingual language learners rather than learners of a foreign or second language. Close to 200 participants came from countries in the region as well as East Asia and Australia.
