Australian Council of TESOL Associations International TESOL Conference
The Australian Council of TESOL Associations International TESOL Conference will be held at Holiday Inn on the Gold Coast from 7th - 10th July 2010.
Conference Theme
The focus of this conference is the need for TESOL practitioners to rethink and reconfigure the way we view and practice our profession in light of rapid global change and new challenges; to think outside the square and to share ideas and practices that are contributing to such thinking.
There will be 4 strands at the conference:
• Pedagogy (including classroom practice, teacher education)
• Assessment and Evaluation
• Learners and Learning (including Second Language Acquisition, identity, literacy
development, culture etc)
• Curriculum & Policy.
Participants will be from early childhood, primary, secondary, ELICOS, TEFL, adult migrant and tertiary sectors, including teachers/scholars who work with indigenous language learners at all levels.
The keynote speakers are international leaders in the field, and conference participants will comprise TESOL educators and researchers from around the globe.
Papers are welcomed from teachers and scholars within the TESOL field as well as from other disciplines that have direct impact on the teaching & learning of English as a second language or dialect (e.g mainstream literacy, numeracy, culture studies, psychology, etc).
