TESOL Türkiye is pleased to announce that the 5th TESOL Türkiye International ELT Conference will take place on 28th and 29th April 2023 and will be hosted by Bartın University, Bartın, Türkiye. The event welcomes both presenters and participants who are interested in language teaching, learning and professional development.
TESOL Türkiye is a national association of ELT professionals committed to advancing the quality of English language teaching by contributing to the sustainable quality of teacher
education and in-service professional learning in Türkiye through collaboration, open
exchange of practice, research, standards, and advocacy in all stages and levels of education. Among its core values, which also include integrity guided by ethical and transparent action, professionalism demonstrated by excellence in standards, research, and practice that improve learning outcomes and commitment to life-long learning is respect for diversity. Embracing different groups of people and allowing everyone to feel welcomed and valued is the key to creating a more just and equitable society for everyone, and schools provide a potential context in which diverse people learn to feel valued and important and to treat others with respect. In the 21st century, education should enable people of all genders, abilities, ethnicities, socioeconomic backgrounds and ages to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to establish caring communities, in which everyone accepts, respects and supports individual differences, without bias or stigma. This is only possible through inclusive education, which is among the greatest challenges confronting educators from K-12 to higher education today. To this end, the TESOL Türkiye Conference,
“Embracing Differences: The Key to Inclusive Education”
aims to encourage ideas and debates connected to the theme of inclusiveness in language education in order to create equal opportunities for students, teachers, trainers as well as leaders.
Details for the Call for Papers will be shared soon.
Details of PC Events will be announced by the SIGs.
