Tohoku ETJ Expo
The Tohoku ETJ Expo was held yesterday in Sendai. We had just under 100 people come out to see 19 workshops and presentations.
It was great to see and talk to everyone, and thanks are due to the team that put it together: committee members of Sendai ETJ and Sendai JALT chapters.
This was just the first of the ETJ Expos, so if you have the chance to see one in your area please check it out: http://www.eltnews.com/ETJ/events/expos.shtml
I’ll be presenting again at the Tokyo Expo on November 6th and 7th, so hope to see some of you there.
Conference season
I just received the following list of conferences from a JALT newsletter:
PAC 2010 / Korea Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (KOTESOL)
October 16-17, 2010
Seoul, South Korea
English Teaching Association of the Republic of China (ETA-ROC)
November 12-14, 2010
Taipei, Taiwan
Thailand TESOL (ThaiTESOL)
January 21-22, 2011
Chiang Mai, Thailand
CamTESOL Conference (Cambodia)
February 26-27, 2011
Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)
March 16-19, 2011
New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
International Association of Teachers of English as a Foreign Language
(IATEFL)
April 15-19, 2011
Brighton, UK
I have never been to a conference outside of Japan, so I’m really interested in heading to KoTESOL or Thai TESOL (I can’t make the others as I have other plans). IATEFL or TESOL would also be nice, but might be outside of my budget for this year 😉
Does anyone have any advice as to which of these would be most interesting?
