Introduction

Change is a universal human experience. Living in time, human beings are subject to constant changes that might alter the living conditions, social structures, and human relations, thereby affecting our decisions, behaviors, and perceptions of reality. The process of change, be it designed or accidental, often involves a break with the status quo and the existing norms. Such a break may lead to reevaluations of current situations, trials on available options, and perceptual or behavioral adjustments. Finally, the transitional process will be concluded by a metamorphosis—a total transformation in its components, patterns, manners, paradigms, or other aspects in the making.

This is a time of great changes—with a fire ignited by the global outbreaks of Covid-19. These changes have substantially impacted politics, economy, education, interpersonal relations, communication, and the human psyche. As educators and researchers, it is necessary to ruminate on how the changes affect how we think, speak, interact, and conduct our day-to-day business. Teachers worldwide have been embracing innovative instructions to surmount the disruption of the pandemic, leading to transformations in the modern educational arena. On the other hand, Literary scholars are probing into works about diseases, disasters, and discontinuity to find new significances and perspectives in various modes of metamorphoses.

It is timely that this conference explores various topics related to the process of changes in linguistics, language teaching, literature, translation, and cultural studies. We invite teachers and scholars worldwide to work together to address the issues emerging during this violent disruption to increase our awareness of the importance of a smooth transition and facilitate an efficient transformation in this progressively developing area.
