A message reminding us that it's not too late to submit a proposal for
TESOL:
Dear Colleagues,
Please pass this message along to your practitioner networks!
Don't forget-- it's still not too late to submit a proposal for the
TESOL 2005 convention. Please encourage your teachers and teacher
trainers to submit proposals. Remind them that presenting at TESOL is a
great chance for professional development--and that they have a much
better chance to get program funding to attend if they have had a
proposal accepted. This year, TESOL is also making a stronger effort to
offer discounts and lower cost housing. The attached flyer has all the
details. Here's a summary.
Proposal due dates: Midnight May 3 (on-line); May 1 (via mail)
TESOL Annual Convention
March 30-April 2, 2005
San Antonio, TX
Theme: Teaching Learning, Learning Teaching
Facts:
* The more proposals the adult education interest section submits
the more slots we get for adult education sessions.
* You can submit on-line at www.tesol.org <http://www.tesol.org/>
Go to 2005 convention.
* It doesn't take long. You need a title (7 words), a summary (40
words) and a description of your proposal with no names of
presenters mentioned (50-250 words). This can be pasted in from
Word.
* Submitting a proposal doesn't commit you to attending yet. You
can
accept, decline and change presenters later in the process. If
you
don't have all members of a panel lined up, or haven't worked
out
all the details, submit anyway. You can add the new panelists or
make changes later.
* Every teacher has something to share. New teachers often learn
best from other new teachers. Presenting at a national
conference
is a great way to feel more a part of the field and grow in your
career.
* TESOL is engaging in a number of efforts to encourage new
members.
For example, all full time graduate and undergraduates can
register AND attend the conference for $75. They are also hoping
to make lower cost housing available in San Antonio.
* The TESOL website has tips for writing a proposal.
