I am deeply honored to receive the RELO Scholarship Award 2025 to attend the 71st TEFLIN International Conference. This experience has been truly meaningful for me as a returning academic who is now transitioning from practitioner to researcher. Through the sessions, I learned how current discussions on AI, inclusion, and accessibility are shaping the future of English education both in Indonesia and globally. I also met many inspiring teachers, lecturers, and researchers who share the same passion for developing English teaching in our country. As a lecturer at Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia (UIII), I found this opportunity very valuable for my work in promoting AI literacy and ethical research practices among postgraduate students. I sincerely thank TEFLIN and RELO for supporting English educators like me to continue growing, connecting, and contributing to our professional community.
