Oct. 15-16, 2016 Page 1 The 24th Korea TESOL International Conference President’s Message Lindsay Herron I am very pleased to welcome you to the 2016 KOTESOL International Conference! In 2010, I attended my first KOTESOL International Conference. Here at Sookmyung Women‟s University, surrounded by crisp autumn air, azure skies, and more than a thousand fellow teachers from around the world, I exulted in the pleasure of finding a true community of practice. I remember sitting in the sunshine during breaks, coordinating schedules with a friend so we could split up, attend as many presentations as possible, and then later swap notes and handouts. I was ecstatic to meet so many dedicated teachers, skilled practitioners, and researchers; to peruse the various displays and booths on offer; to feel part of a larger community and support network; and ultimately, to realize I was not alone in my struggles to improve, to provide my students with the most effective, engaging class possible. Today, I am a much more confident teacher, thanks in large part to KOTESOL. I am thrilled to be here and to have this opportunity to welcome and thank all the participants. First, I‟d like to thank the hundreds of attendees and presenters congregating here from around the globe. We owe it to our students, to our employers, to the profession, and to ourselves to continuously seek improvement, never to be content but rather to constantly evolve and develop as teachers. KOTESOL provides a welcome support network for all of us in this quest, and all of you should be congratulated for embracing this opportunity for improvement, for actively seeking and sharing new ideas and inspiration. I am also pleased to invite members to further develop their support networks on Saturday night (10/15) at our annual members‟ social event, coordinated by the Membership Committee. I would also like to welcome and thank our organizational partners for their continued support and their dedication to improving English education in Korea. They are truly the bedrock of KOTESOL, and it is their support that allows us to provide exceptional professional development events such as this one. Finally, I would like to acknowledge the conference planning committee. I am very familiar with the months of effort and blood, sweat, and tears that are frequently (and literally) involved in organizing a conference. To the entire International Conference Committee, then, I would like to offer gratitude, appreciation, and a hearty congratulations! I am delighted to be back at Sookmyung Women‟s University this year, and I am particularly excited about the theme, “Shaping the Future: With 21st Century Skills.” I love how it refers not only to the skills we should seek to cultivate in our students, but also the skills we need to foster in ourselves as teachers in order to teach our students effectively in an ever-changing, increasingly connected, increasingly digital world. It invites us to reflect on the kind of future we want and the role we each play in crafting it. Whatever approach you‟d like to take, from questions of advocacy and equity to effective uses of technology, there‟s a presentation here for you. I hope you find it as inspiring and rewarding as I do. Welcome to the conference, and welcome to the KOTESOL family! Page 2 Sookmyung Women's University. Oct. 15-16, 2016 The 24th Korea TESOL International Conference Chair’s Welcome Jamie Carson I want to welcome you to the 2016 Korea TESOL International Conference. I am thrilled that you have joined us today! In years past, I have found this conference to be a wonderful time of networking, learning and collaborating. It is my hope that this conference offers you the same opportunities. There have been a great number of changes this year that I hope you will enjoy. However, none of this would not be possible without the long hours of volunteer service that the international conference committee dedicated throughout the year. Each member has logged countless hours after work and given greatly of their free time on both weekends and vacations. To these individuals, you have my greatest respect, admiration, and thanks. The theme this year „Shaping the Future: With 21st Century Skills‟ is meant to showcase new and innovative approaches in all areas of education. Education is an ever changing field whether in innovation or a new approach to an existing idea. Our goal this year was to provide as many practical sessions as possible. Whether learning about a new way to use technology in the classroom, a new look at reflective practice or the latest techniques in neurolinguistics, there are plenty of opportunities to learn and grow this weekend. I sincerely believe that there will be many insights that you will take home from this conference, not only from the sessions, but from socializing and sharing with your fellow teachers. I am very enthusiastic to spend the time with you. I would love to take time to greet and chat with you anytime this weekend. I look forward to hearing about your experiences in education and the things you have found interesting while attending the conference. Welcome to the 24th Korea TESOL International Conference Sookmyung Women's University. Oct. 15-16, 2016 Page 3 The 24th Korea TESOL International Conference Finding the Right Presentations By Phil Owen and Allison Bill, Program Directors It can be intimidating looking at all the presentation titles and choosing one. Here are some tips. 1. Read the titles, of course, but also, read the abstracts for the sessions you are interested in. The abstract should give you an idea of what will be covered – whether it’s new or old information for you and whether the topic is something you are interested in. 2. This year, we continue the “101” series of presentations. These sessions are aimed at new teachers, though everyone is welcome. If you are new to teaching, or new to teaching English, or just need to brush up on basic skills, check the “101” sessions. This year’s topics are Classroom Management, Conversation Classes, Orientation to Communicative Language Learning, and Web Resources for Teachers. You can see the full list of “101” presentations in the 101 index (p.142). 3. We have tried to balance the topics throughout the weekend. If you want to spend your whole weekend learning about using technology to teach English, you can camp out in room B112.
