Dear colleagues,

We welcome you to the April-May issue of NELTA ELT Forum 2021 and take pleasure to present this issue consisting of a diverse collection of articles on ELT and pedagogy-related topics along with a question-answer column. The current issue focuses on the perspectives of different authors where their ideas include classroom practices, reflections, and teaching-learning experiences.

Dr. Ani Hawkinson, in her article A 21^st Century Approach to English Language Teaching through Media Literacy, discusses media literacy which can be the foundation and strategy of all learning that includes teaching plans for classroom purposes. Causes of Heterogeneity in Language Classroom: A Glimpse by Dr. Nabaraj Neupane emphasizes the skills that teachers need to maintain the heterogeneity and individual differences in language classrooms. Mr. Pitambar Paudel reiterates the values of lesson planning to address learning needs in the article Solemnity of Lesson Plan in Language Teaching. Mr. Rajan Kumar Kandel has critically reflected on the dominant ideology and social discrimination which are prevalent in his community during his school days in the article Dominant Ideologies and Marginalization: An EFL Teacher’s Critical Reflection. We have also included practical responses related to the various, emerging issues of language learning pedagogies.

We hope the present issue will create a space with useful insights into the global ELT community; we extend our sincere gratitude to the contributors for their hard work in bringing this issue to this stage. We are hopeful to continue this trend of bringing productive and practical ideas to the upcoming issues. We, as well, would like to appreciate the reviewers for their invaluable input on the present issue of the NELTA ELT Forum and expect similar support from them in the future.
