Speaker: Keynote speakers William Snyder (Teacher's College, Columbia University) and Kahoko Matsumoto (Tokai University), plus several other speakers

The ELT Career and Professional Development Conference (ECAP) caters to teachers from an array of different experience levels and teaching situations. The day is divided into three sections. The first two sections each contain a keynote address and the choice of four workshops. The keynote address introduces a broad topic, followed up by the four concurrently run workshops on themes related to the keynote. The third section of the conference will be a panel discussion and we have assembled an experienced panel of experts to reflect on the core concept; What should I know as a teacher?
