From May 23-24, 2024, the English as an International Language (EIL) Program, an interdisciplinary/international program of Chulalongkorn University Graduate School, held the 3rd EIL Academic Forum under the theme “Revisualizing English as an International Language: New Vistas, Shared Visions” at the Eastin Grand Hotel Phayathai, with Professor Dr. Wilert Puriwat, Acting President of Chulalongkorn University, presiding over the opening ceremony. 

The forum brought together distinguished scholars from around the world including Prof. Jun Liu, Rector of City University of Macau, among other experts from the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Singapore, and Vietnam, as well as Chulalongkorn University professors and EIL alumni who were invited to give presentations.
