TESOL Arabia Conference Call for Papers
Deadline: 15 November 2010

We would like to invite you to submit a proposal for the 17th TESOL Arabia Annual International Conference & Exhibition, 10-12 March, 2011, at the JW Marriott Hotel, Dubai, UAE.

The theme of the conference is “Rethinking English language teaching: attitudes, approaches and perspectives”. Proposals are welcomed from all teachers and educators involved in teaching English as a Second or Foreign language, including those who teach other subjects through the medium of English. While we encourage proposals focusing on the conference theme, proposals focusing on other topics will also be considered. However, all proposals should focus on issues concerning the teaching, learning and use of English.

The website for submitting proposals is now up and running. To submit your proposal, please visit our website at: http://tesolarabia.org/conference

The deadline for submissions is 15 November, 2010. We would like to encourage submissions from all levels of TESOL education, tertiary and non- tertiary, as well as from both public and private professionals in the field.

The theme for this year’s conference is Rethinking English Language Teaching: Attitudes, Approaches and Perspectives. Language teaching is a dynamic process that involves different attitudes, approaches and perspectives. The idea behind our theme for this year comes from the fact that language teaching is constantly evolving. It is always changing and different attitudes and perspectives are entertained, taking into account the different way in which students learn. This is a theme that accounts for the fact that one item could be taught one way by one teacher to one group and a different ways by another teacher (or even by the same teacher) to a different group.
