Conference Rationale
Why this conversation, and why now
The rapid development of generative AI has directly affected the field of English Language
Education because its core capabilities are language-based. AI can generate text, revise
drafts, summarize information, translate content, and support language-related tasks that were
once central to students’ learning processes. This creates both opportunities and serious
pedagogical challenges for teachers, institutions, and students.
In higher education, the use of AI tools such as ChatGPT is already expanding across multiple
roles and purposes. However, responsible integration requires more than technical training. It
requires clear governance, ethical awareness, strong pedagogical design, and the active role of
educators in ensuring that learning remains meaningful, fair, reflective, and human-centred.
Conference Objectives
From tool adoption to real pedagogical change
This conference aims to strengthen the framework of Humanizing ELT in the AI Era
by grounding discussion in transformative learning and teacher agency. It seeks to ensure that
the integration of generative AI does not stop at tool adoption, but leads to meaningful changes
in how English is taught, learned, and assessed.
The conference also aims to generate practical and policy-oriented outcomes, especially in
relation to task design, fair and AI-resilient assessment, academic integrity, and institutional
responses to responsible AI use.
In addition, it serves as a platform for research collaboration, publication networking, and
collective decision-making through APSPBI’s Association Business Meeting.

Annual Business Meeting Highlights
Securing the Future of Your Study Program’s Accreditation
Facing the increasingly dynamic challenges of accreditation, APSPBI proudly presents the most
strategic session at the Annual Business Meeting (ABM) 2026 in Jakarta.
Accreditation is the Heart of the Study Program
We understand that achieving and maintaining an “Excellent” (Unggul)
accreditation is the top priority for every institution. This year’s ABM is specifically
dedicated to addressing the most pressing concerns and needs of study programs regarding
the fulfillment of educational quality standards.
A Comprehensive Breakdown of the LAMDIK 3.0 Instrument
Do not let your study program navigate in the dark. This session will thoroughly dissect
the latest LAMDIK 3.0 Instrument, covering everything from changes in the
assessment matrix and criteria for fulfilling Key Performance Indicators (IKU), to
strategic steps for drafting a sharp and substantive Self-Evaluation Report (LED).
Exclusive Access to Experts
Leave behind the confusion and conflicting interpretations of regulations. We are
exclusively bringing in experts and core team members from LAMDIK. They
will provide insider insights, practical tips, and the definitive do’s and don’ts for
successfully navigating both desk evaluations and field assessments.
Synergy and Sharing of Best Practices
This is not just a standard presentation; it is a highly interactive discussion space.
You will have the opportunity to analyze case studies, exchange solutions with hundreds
of Heads of Study Programs from all over Indonesia, and replicate the successful
strategies of study programs that have already mastered this new instrument.
