Proudly hosted by the Daejeon-Chungcheong Chapter of KOTESOL, and featuring the Professional Development SIG, the National Conference brings together several key concepts in contemporary TESOL (including professional development, second language acquisition, theory informing practice, classroom-centered research projects, and pedagogy) into a meaningful theme, Developing Professionally: Plug-and-Play SLA Pedagogy, which seeks to provide teachers with practical ideas that can be readily applied in their classrooms.

The conference will be held at the Korea National University of Education  (between Cheongju & Jochiwon; see link for information and directions). All sessions in the Jonghap Building (종합교육관) unles noted otherwise.

A special and intimate practical half-day workshop with Dr. Folse will also be held on Sunday, May 26th.  Seating is limited to 36 individuals and participation is by pre-registration only.  Due to hotel, dinner, and event details/logistics, details will be posted BEFORE May 1st.

More detailed information about the conference will become available in the weeks ahead. Check back often!
