I attended the 11th International Conference of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF11) hosted by King’s College London at its Waterloo Campus from 4 to 7 July 2018. As a relative newcomer to English as a lingua franca (ELF) research, my experience has included participation in ELF10 in Helsinki and attending the Japan Association of College English Teachers 56th International Conference ‘English in a Globalized World: Exploring Lingua Franca Research and Pedagogy’ in 2017. I also participated as a copresenter on Day One of EF11, as described in the following. What follows are my observations and thoughts that reflect my interests as a practitioner in Japanese higher education and as a member of a research project focused on monitoring an evolving ELF-informed program.

第 11 届国际英语作为通用语会议 (ELF11)：ELF、移民和多语言

我参加了由伦敦国王学院于 2018 年 7 月 4 日至 7 日在滑铁卢校区举办的第 11 届国际通用英语会议 (ELF11)。作为英语作为通用语言 (ELF) 研究的相对新手，我的经历包括参加了在赫尔辛基举行的 ELF10，并于 2017 年参加了日本大学英语教师协会第 56 届国际会议“全球化世界中的英语：探索通用语研究和教学法”。我还在 EF11 的第一天作为共同主持人参加了会议，如下列的。以下是我的观察和想法，这些观察和想法反映了我作为日本高等教育从业者和专注于监测不断发展的 ELF 知情计划的研究项目成员的兴趣。
