The 19th International Conference for Teachers of English and Coordinators will have two different strands. One for English Language Programs Coordinators, and one for Teachers of English.

Teachers of English strand: The Selecting Committee welcomes proposals for lectures and workshops focusing on practical ideas, examples of best practices and how English Language Teaching common problems might be addressed.
This may be your opportunity to share your knowledge and expertise with hundreds of teachers of English in the ELT field.

Coordinators strand: the Selecting Committee welcomes lectures and workshops on all aspects of the educational management field and professional development for Administrators, Supervisors, Coordinators, Heads of English Departments, Directors of Studies, School Managers and Entrepreneurs.
This may be your opportunity to share your knowledge and expertise with hundreds of Administrators in the English Language Teaching management field.

It is the responsibility of the Selecting Committee to evaluate all proposals and select a high quality variety of workshops that will meet the needs of a diverse audience.
 
 
  The Selecting Committee will review all abstracts and will select those which...

a. have a direct relationship to the conference and are relevant to the audience.
b. have a clear and precise organization.
c. guarantee the Committee that the speaker knows the subject.
d. guarantee the Committee that the presenter has extensive experience and success in conducting teacher-training seminars.
e. are complete, edited and free of typographical mistakes.
f. are not used to promote or sell the products or services of the speaker or others.
 
 
 

The standard length for presentations will be of 90 minutes.
While the assumption is that presentations will be largely speaker-centered, presenters are nonetheless encouraged to include and involve their audience, presenting in such a way as to stimulate the interest of the audience. For this reason we strongly discourage the reading aloud of written papers.
