We are pleased to announce the Fourth Hawaiʻi International Conference on English Language and Literature Studies (HICELLS 2025) hosted by A'Sharqiyah University will be held at A'Sharkiya University Campus in Ibra, Oman on February 26 - 27, 2025. This year's conference theme is "Innovative Approaches to Teaching and Learning in English Language and Literature Studies," aims to explore the cutting-edge methodologies and transformative practices in education. 

HICELLS 2025 offers a platform for educators, researchers, students, and scholars in the fields of English language and literature to share their insights, experiences, and research findings. This international conference also provides an opportunity to engage in discussions about innovative teaching approaches in English language and literature.

As the landscape of education rapidly evolves particularly in the wake of the pandemic, there is a pressing need for innovative strategies to effectively teach English as a Second Language (ESL), English as a Foreign Language (EFL), and Literature Studies. This year’s conference will explore the cutting-edge pedagogical strategies that are transforming the teaching and learning of English language and literature in the post-pandemic era.

Join us in Oman for an enriching event that promises to advance our understanding and practice of teaching and learning in English language and literature.
