摘要：This preface is an attempt to highlight how ETLTC2020 took an interdisciplinary approach to understand different research topics in the fields of educational technology, language and technical communication, and special topics in computer science, biomedical engineering and smart cities. This was a forum to explore how these different topics have different objectives and goals but how the researchers could collaborate and network towards more interdisciplinary research in these different areas of applied linguistics. Importantly, this conference was also an opportunity for student-student collaboration preparing them with project management and intercultural communication skills for the future workplace.
