Conference dates: 7-8 September 2023
Dear language teachers, researchers, postgraduate students, and TESOL professionals
We are pleased to announce the organisation of a truly international conference on TESOL with the major theme: Best Practices in Second Language Education. The conference scientific board is made of leaders and key figures in L2 education from around the world and the confirmed plenary speakers are themselves pioneers in the field. We are very excited about this major TESOL event in the region and invite you to join us as a speaker or as a participant to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Türkiye.
Contributions are invited for 20-minute oral presentations (as well as poster presentations) or 45-minute workshop on a wide range of topics related to the theory and practice of second language education, SLA, TESOL and applied linguistics. This will also be a great opportunity for you to meet and catch up with some of the pioneers in the field, your fellow researchers and practitioners working in different parts of the world, as well as visiting the historical and attractive city of Istanbul.
We are in particular interested in learning more about documented and research-based practices in second language education/acquisition in one or more of the following areas:
Innovative L2 Teaching Methods
New Approaches to Teaching Language Skills/Sub-skills
Digital Tools/Techniques in Language Education
CALL/MALL/TELL
SLA
L2 Assessment
L2 Teacher Education and Professional Practice
Teaching Literature/Translation/ICC
Practitioner-based Research Methods
Any Topic of Interest to L2 Learners/Learning, Teachers/Teaching, and Assessors/Assessing
Abstract proposals can be submitted for consideration by the Conference Scientific Committee. An abstract of 200 words (max) can be submitted for evaluation. The abstract (if based on an empirical study) should include research aims, a summary of method, findings and practical implications. Non-research-based abstracts should clearly indicate implications for practice. After evaluation, abstracts will be accepted for oral or poster presentation. Each author can submit up to 3 abstracts or be a co-author in up to 3 abstracts. All communications will be made with the corresponding author, who will need to inform his/her colleagues about further steps and procedures. The deadline for abstract submission is 1 June 2023.
Accepted proposals will be published in a Conference Abstracts Book in the form of a DVD and will be published online at the Conference Website.
