Identifying Research Topics & Gaps in English Language Teaching (ELT) for SSCI Publication-Webinar-CATECP

General Introduction

The International Perspectives Webinar Series brings together experts and scholars from ASEAN and beyond to exchange insights on emerging academic and professional fields. This edition features “Identifying Research Gaps & Topics in English Language Teaching (ELT) for SSCI Publications.” As more researchers aim to publish in high-impact journals, it becomes important to choose research topics that are new, useful, and relevant to global issues. This session discusses how to find real research gaps,

choose strong research topics, and match them with the standards of SSCI-indexed journals. It will also introduce current research trends, common mistakes, and practical tips that ELT researchers should consider when preparing their studies for international publication. Through expert sharing and interactive discussion, this webinar supports academic collaboration and helps participants understand how creativity in research, solid methods, and ethical writing can lead to successful ELT publications.

This Course is for

1. University students and young researchers who are eager to deepen their understanding of ELT research, academic writing practices, and publication requirements in high-impact (SSCI) journals.
2. Early-career teachers, scholars, and researchers interested in exploring current ELT trends, research methodologies, and strategies for developing publishable topics supported by strong theoretical frameworks.
3. Lecturers, graduate students, and education practitioners focusing on applied linguistics, language pedagogy, curriculum development, language assessment, or cross-disciplinary studies related to English language teaching and learning.
4. Global-minded participants who wish to understand how research innovation, ethical academic practices, methodological rigor, and international publication standards influence the development of impactful ELT research topics.
