Students from the School of Languages and Cultural Communication (SLCC) of Martin Luther Christian University participated in the 19th International and 55th Annual Conference of the English Language Teachers’ Association of India (ELTAI), held from 12–15 November 2025 at CHRIST (Deemed to be University) in Bangalore. The conference was organized by ELTAI and hosted by the Department of English and Cultural Studies of CHRIST University under the theme “Lessons Taught, Lessons Learnt: Teacher and Learner Narratives.”

The conference brought together scholars, educators, and students from across India and abroad to discuss teaching practices, classroom experiences, and reflections on language learning. As part of the academic engagement, students from SLCC actively participated in the conference through poster presentations, showcasing their research ideas and insights related to language learning and teaching.

Among the participating students, one group achieved a notable distinction by receiving the Best Poster Presentation Award. The award-winning group comprised Mr. Micheal Rynjah, Miss Shantela Lyngdoh, and Miss Richil Kharkongor, whose work was recognized for its clarity, originality, and academic contribution.

Their achievement reflects the commitment of the School of Languages and Cultural Communication to encouraging student research, academic participation, and engagement with national and international scholarly platforms. The experience also provided the students with valuable exposure to academic discussions, networking opportunities, and insights into contemporary issues in English language teaching.

The participation and success of the students at this prestigious conference brought recognition to Martin Luther Christian University and highlighted the growing academic involvement of its students in national and international forums.
