Over 1,100 international and Korea-based attendees gathered in Seoul, South Korea, for a weekend of teacher development under the conference theme of Perfect Score: Methodologies, Technologies, & Communities of Practice. The two-day Conference offered plenary sessions by Mike Levy and Glenn Stockwell, Brock Brady, and Scott Thornbury, as well as nine featured sessions by Frank Boers, Fredricka L. Stoller, Rob Waring, Clara Lee Brown, Mike Levy, Kyungsook Yeum, Neil J. Anderson, Kevin Wilson, David Paul, and Glenn Stockwell, with a featured colloquium featuring David Nunan, Martha Clark Cummings, Ken Beatty, Denise Murray, and MaryAnn Christison. In addition, the Conference included 231 concurrent sessions of various formats, including research paper presentations, workshops, and colloquia. The twenty-four papers in this volume include a paper by plenary speaker Brock Brady on communities of practice, and papers by three featured speakers: Frank Boers, who spoke on teaching phrasal expressions, and Fredricka Stoller and Rob Waring, who both talked about reading in the classroom. The other papers fall into fourteen categories, ranging from assessment and testing, classroom management, and a focus on teaching specific skills in the classroom, to the use of technology in the classroom, and articles focused on the teacher: talking about cross-cultural and intercultural communication, and about reflective teaching practice. It is our pleasure to present to you this volume of KOTESOL Proceedings 2012. We would like to thank the authors of the papers collected here for their cooperation and patience with the editing process, and of course, for making their contributions to this volume. We hope that you will enjoy reading the papers in this publication in your pursuit of improved ELT methodologies, application of new technologies, and participation in communities of practice.

In some fields Communities of Practice happen naturally. However, teachers do not practice their craft alongside other teachers. Teachers must therefore consciously build Communities of Practice to hone their craft. Teachers who participate in Communities of Practice rarely experience burnout or fall into ruts. They know their strengths and don’t hide from their shortcomings. They are confident and can count on their peers. Communities of Practice may be formal or informal and participants may change, but they are places where teachers can freely explore teaching practice, share their insights safely, and feel empowered and energized. This paper examines the essential characteristics of teacher Communities of Practices and provides tips for managing the changes that occur when Communities of Practice transition from informal to formal interactions. I. WHAT ARE COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICE? Etienne Wenger, who along with Jean Lave coined the term Communities of Practice, defines Communities of Practice as “groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly” (Wenger, 2006). When people come together to talk about the craft of their work, they form a Community of Practice. If you have ever spent time around a garage, with a group of farmers, at a construction site, with waiters at the end of a shift, or even mothers who bring their children to the playground at the same time then chat, then you probably know the meaning of “to talk shop” that is, to share tips and experiences about mutual

The Conference Committee The Classroom and Beyond 3 KOTESOL International Conference 2001, Seoul A Message from the Co-chair It is my greatest honour, duty, and privilege to welcome you all to the 9th Korea TESOL International Conference, being held at Sungkyunkwan University in Seoul, on October 13th and 14th. As we head into autumn, with all the sights, sounds, scents, and colours that surround us, we take the time to meet together, as a group of teachers and scholars, under the theme "The Learning Environ- ment: the Classroom and Beyond." The Conference cannot come together without the hard work and effort of many people - the Conference Committee, members of the National Executive Council (both of whom are made of teachers and professors, like you), and our student volunteers (who are just like the students you teach in your schools, colleges, and universities). When you have the chance, stop one of them and thank them for their work! As we join together for this Conference, to listen to papers, to take part in workshops and discus- sions, to discuss issues of importance over lunch boxes, dinner tables, and beer glasses, we would do well to think about things like: · What is the learning environment, for our students and us? · Do we use that environment as fully and productively as we should, or could? · How can we maximize learning opportunities for our students and ourselves? · What changes can we (or should we) make to "the learning environment"? The last ten years have seen momentous change.

  • The Acquisition of Progressive Morphology by Korean Learners of English: Ll Transfer and Learnability
    105 English Teaching, Vol. 68, No. 2, Summer 2013 The Acquisition of Progressive Morphology by Korean Learners of English: Ll Transfer and Learnability Hye-ryeong Hahn (Seowon University) Hahn, Hye-ryeong. (2013). The acquisition of progressive morphology by Korean learners of English: L1 transfer and learnability. English Teaching, 68(2), 105-130. The present study addresses a learnability problem in the acquisition of English progressive aspect by Korean learners of English. As Korean and English differ in the way that the lexical aspect of verbs interacts with progressive morphology, we predicted that Korean learners of Engli sh would be affected by their LI aspectual system, accepting non-targetlike combinations of lexical aspect and aspectual morphology. Sixty Korean university students were presented with sentences containing different aspectual classes of verbs in two conditions- the progressive and the simple present-and were asked to judge the naturalness of the sentences. The results showed that the majority of the learners erroneously accepted progressive sentences containing stative verbs. It also showed that the learners accepted simple present constructions containing eventitive verbs for an ongoing interpretation, indicating the pervasiveness of L 1 transfer. The findings strongly suggest that Korean EFL learners have difficulty ruling out erroneous form-meaning associations based on their LI progressive morphology. Key words: progressive aspect, simple present, lexical aspect, learnability, transfer 1. INTRODUCTION Acquiring L2 morpho-syntactic features is one of the lasting problems in L2 acquisition. English verbal morphology such as third person singular and present perfect poses difficulties even for highly proficient learners (Birdsong & Molis, 2001; DeKeyser, 2000; Johnson & Newport, 1989: Lardiere, 1998).
