I am proud to convey that the international KOTESOL conference is annually the most well- attended ELT conference on Korea’s calendar. For this, we thank each of you, our assembly of conference-goers, from early-career teachers to veteran educators. I am proud to say that we attract an elite group of invited speakers, both domestic and international, to our conference each year. We are indebted to them for their willingness to come, despite their busy schedules, to share their expertise with us. I am proud to recognize our dedicated conference team – led by conference chair Grace Wang and co-chair Michael Free – for the uncountable hours of service that they have devoted to the planning of this conference over the past year. I am proud of our conference theme for this year: “Advancing ELT – Blending Disciplines, Approaches, and Technologies.” It recognizes that we need to broaden our point of view on teaching, to draw from disciplines other than TESOL, to draw on the best from multiple teaching approaches to fit the teaching situation, and to incorporate multimodal technologies. It recognizes that we need to take off our blinders and weave together the knowledge, practices, and technology that best suit our individual teaching contexts. I am proud of KOTESOL. Granted that the international conference is our biggest event of the year, with over a third of our membership involved in preparations for the conference in one way or another and with a full two-thirds of our presenters based outside of Korea and representing two dozen countries around the world. It is not, however, close to being all that the organization does. KOTESOL has a full calendar of events throughout the year. Our chapters across the nation have monthly workshops and regional conferences, our special interest groups are buzzing online and busy offline. We produce a national conference and publish a quarterly magazine (The English Connection), a semiannual journal (Korea TESOL Journal), and an annual international conference proceedings (KOTESOL Proceedings). If you are not already a part, I invite you to join. Lastly, I would like to thank everyone who is part of the conference: the invited speakers, some of whom have traveled halfway around the world to attend; our many presenters who fill out our two-day schedule; our domestic and international partners, who have come to share in our festival of professional development; and our attendees, who bring the conference to life. Interact, interject, intermingle, interrelate. And enjoy the conference. 2 KOTESOL International Conference 2019 Page A Welcome Message from the Chair: Grace Wang I am thrilled for this opportunity to welcome you to The 27th Annual Korea TESOL International Conference! Thank you for joining with us! I am very excited about the theme of the conference this year: Advancing ELT: Blending Disciplines, Approaches, and Technologies. We are entering into a post-post-methods era in English language teaching, when, not only is there a move away from any single ‘method’ of ELT that is considered best for any given situation, but there is also an increasing move away from top-down, West-centred approaches and theories to what is considered the best ways to teach the English language. We are, therefore, entering an era where teachers at the grassroots level, rather than researchers in ivory towers, are being recognized as the best authorities on what constitutes ‘best’ in ELT for their local contexts. And that thrills me to no end because it means that every teacher has a vital role to play in advancing the profession. But like every cloud has a silver lining, with every blessing, there is a burden. With more of the burden For advancing the profession shifting from researchers to teachers, we need more teachers to realize how important they are to that process. We need more teachers to become increasingly invested in their own professional development, and to have the courage and determination to venture out to explore their own practice environments through reflective practice and action research activities. We need more teachers to become less comfortable with being directed on how to teach, and more comfortable with engaging on a path to discovering how best to teach within their own local contexts. And we need more teachers to share what they are learning along that journey of discovery. This is an exciting time for the field of ELT and it is with great pleasure that we offer to you this year’s Korea TESOL International Conference, with a focus on inspiring local teachers to think outside the box and challenge traditional boundaries, so that they are empowered to create teaching strategies that uniquely benefit the learners whom they serve. This conference would not be possible without the amazing team of teachers like you who volunteer their time over the course of more than a year to serve on the International Conference Committee. My very heartfelt thanks go out to each of them, as well as to Sookmyung Women’s University for this wonderful facility. So please enjoy the conference and RISE to the challenge! 3 KOTESOL International Conference 2019 Page Sookmyung University’s Welcome Message Distinguished speakers and honorable guests from Korea and abroad! KOTESOL President, KOTESOL members, and all of our conference participants! I am honored to offer an enthusiastic welcome to all of you on behalf of Sookmyung Women’s University. What a privilege this is to host the KOTESOL international conference again at our campus in this beautiful season! We are excited to provide a venue for cross-cultural networking, intellectual stimuli, and opportunities for professional growth. These are the missions that Korea TESOL has carried out for over 25 years. Over two decades, Sookmyung TESOL has creatively lead the TESOL profession, embodying the innovative spirit of Sookmyung with its 113 year-history. The critical question before us these days is How to redefine TESOL’s Tomorrow. In this rapidly changing world, unfortunately, even we veteran educators need to enhance our AQ, Adaptability Quotient.
