Korea TESOL (KOTESOL) is South Korea’s largest ELT organization and an affiliate of the TESOL International Association. This conference is focused on providing educators from different locations and contexts throughout Korea and Asia with an opportunity to discuss the latest teaching techniques, current research, and relevant issues in ELT.

The theme of this year’s conference is Crossing Borders: Korean ELT in the Modern World. As educators, we cross professional and personal borders every day. Some of these borders, we have been crossing as a profession since the beginning — others are new, unfamiliar and challenging. In our field of ELT education, everyone has knowledge, skills, and insights that can help others to face their challenges, to cross into new professional territory, to make new discoveries, and to grow. All that is needed is the chance to share what we know. That is the purpose of this conference – to allow professionals, novice and veteran, from any and all contexts, to share and to learn, for the benefit of everyone.

The Program Committee will consider any and all proposals that critically engage with the theme conference theme in such a way as to be informative to teachers about either current thinking and research or best classroom practices. While our theme is nominally Korea-centric, we heartily encourage our colleagues from other nations to apply! We note that there are many ‘shared borders’ and global issues that are not unique to the Korean context, and so welcome the valuable perspectives that international contributors bring with them.

Proposals are welcome from any and all, regardless of race, gender, nationality or mother tongue. The only expectation is that the presentation be given in English at a level commensurate with professional-level discourse on the topic in question.
