DEPISA 2026

� Elevate Your Teaching: Join Us at the DEPISA 2026 Conference!
Dear Fellow Educators,
Are you looking for a vibrant, supportive community to help you grow as a professional? We warmly invite you to join the DEPISA (Developing Educational Professionals in Southeast Asia) network for our upcoming 2026 International Conference!
What is DEPISA?
DEPISA is a unique international network dedicated to supporting professional development through learning and action research projects across Australia and Southeast Asia. Originally established in Sydney in 2010, its initial goal was to help improve the teaching of English in Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Laos through action research into professional practice. Since then, it has expanded to welcome educators from a wide variety of professional fields and research backgrounds.
Why Should You Attend?
As we continuously strive to create modern, engaging learning experiences for our secondary students—and build dynamic, accessible educational communities like EngZone with TWP or TWP's classrooms —DEPISA offers the perfect environment to share ideas, solve classroom challenges, and gain inspiration.
A Culture of Collaboration: DEPISA conferences are widely renowned for their incredible collegiality, friendliness, and collaborative spirit. It is an annual opportunity to meet face-to-face with peers from across Southeast Asia who share your passions.
Action-Oriented Learning: The network strongly encourages teachers to undertake small research projects into their own teaching practices and present their findings. It is the ideal platform to showcase your classroom action research.
Cutting-Edge Educational Topics: Recent conferences have explored highly relevant themes that directly impact our daily teaching. Presentations have covered everything from Constructive Alignment and enhancing English proficiency using the CEFR framework, to the impact of AI and ChatGPT on the student learning process.
Whether you are integrating tools like Google NotebookLM into your classroom or exploring new models of English writing, you will find valuable, research-backed insights.
A Growing Local Network: Our local presence is stronger than ever! Recently, Thai English teachers sponsored by TWP joined the conference, highlighting the network's deep relevance and support for educators right here in Thailand.
Let's Grow Together
Whether you are a seasoned researcher, a trainer, or a classroom teacher passionate about integrating new technologies and methodologies, your voice matters here. DEPISA provides a space to reflect on your personal theories of learning and teaching, discuss challenges, and discover different ways of thinking about education.
Step out of your everyday routine and into a network that values your professional journey. We can't wait to learn, share, and grow with you at DEPISA 2026!
Warm regards,
