Meisei University International Studies Professional Development Forum

Saturday, November 16th, 2013, 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Speaker: Call for papers due October 11th

Meisei University's International Studies Centre guest lecturers will host their fourth annual professional development forum where English lecturers will present short seminars on EFL classroom practice and relevant research themes. We invite short presentations and attendance by any interested teachers or researchers particularly those working in university and college contexts. The forum's goal is to offer an opportunity for language teachers to exchange teaching skills, classroom experiences and research focuses, which ultimately enables us to better teach our students; and to present our work in a collegial atmosphere. Publishers will be in attendance with classroom materials for inspection. Presentations will be 25 minutes + 5 minutes for Q&A.

Call for papers due October 11th, 2013
Proposals for short presentations (25 minutes) are welcome. The submission deadline is Friday, October 11. We encourage presentations (in English) such as:

• ELT lesson shares, classroom activities/tasks/projects;
• Reports on action research you are currently working on in your classroom context;
• Intercultural approaches to classroom practices and content for language learning.

Submission requirements:

• Contact details: Name, affiliation, telephone number, email address
• Presentation title
• Presentation abstracts (100 words)
• Presentation description (for the forum program): 50 words
• Desired equipment (PPT projector)
