TESOL Greece 39th Annual International Convention
"Be Creative and Insipre!"
Submission Guidelines
One of the main roles of a language teacher is to implement their theoretical background and differentiated styles of teaching to many different types of learners. TESOL Greece would like to create a forum in which all presenters can share inspiration and discuss specific approaches to language teaching. The 39th TESOL Greece Convention presenters are encouraged to share ideas, which have succeeded in realizing specific learning objectives in a variety of ELT environments. Ideas for language learning activities supported by research findings, would be of interest to our membership/ convention attendees.
Important information
Please note also that a professional presentation should not be used to promote a book, publisher, author, course or examination. TESOL Greece Members are particularly sensitive to the distinction between commercial and professional presentations.
Types of proposals
Workshop (45 minutes)
A Practice-Oriented presentation, which shows, rather than tells. The presenter helps participants
solve a problem or develop a specific technique through a series of structured hands-on activities.
Talk (45 minutes)
A formal instructive talk given by (a) subject specialist(s).
Poster presentation
A self-explanatory exhibit that allows participants to engage in informal discussion with the presenter(s). It is based on the creative combination of text, graphics and visuals.
