Approximately 1,500 international and Korea-based attendees gathered in Seoul, Korea, for a weekend of teacher development under the conference theme of Advancing ELT in the Global Context. The two-day Conference offered plenary sessions by Paul Nation, Patricia Duff, and Thomas Farrell, as well as nine featured speaker sessions by Andy Curtis, Alan Maley, Andrew Kirkpatrick, Willy Renandya, JoAnn Crandall, Sunhye Hwang, Kumiko Torikai, Suchada Nimmannit, and Andrew Finch, as well as a plenary panel featuring David Nunan, Rod Ellis, Kathleen Bailey, Martha Cummings, and Ken Beatty, moderated by Alan Maley. In addition, the Conference included nearly 200 concurrent sessions of various formats including research paper presentations, workshops, and colloquia. The thirty-one papers in this volume range from the practical workshop report to the theoretical, from a presentation of the latest theories to a review of what has come before. They show the English language teaching field in dynamic motion evolving, evaluating, innovating, and reflecting. The papers collected herein fall into fifteen categories: assessment and testing; classroom management; conversation, pronunciation, and listening; corpus linguistics; course and materials design; cross- and intercultural issues; English for Academic or Specific Purposes; grammar; identity, autonomy, and motivation; learning style preferences; multiple skills; pragmatics and discourse; teacher development; video; and writing. The range and the depth of the papers presented in this volume of KOTESOL Proceedings 2010 is testimony to the time and energy that EFL practitioners invest in advancing ELT in the local and global context. What appears in this collection is but a sampling of the presentations that were presented at the 2010 KOTESOL International Conference, but we feel that it is a strong sampling. It is our pleasure to present this volume of KOTESOL Proceedings 2010. 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 preparing their contributions to this volume. We hope that you will enjoy reading the papers in this publication in your own pursuit of professional excellence and the advancement of ELT.

ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Yes Associated Protein Plays an Essential Role in the Development and Progression of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma By David H Bae Doctor of Philosophy in Oral Biology University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Cun-Yu Wang, Chair The intricate anatomy of the primary tumor, the occurrence of late-stage diagnosis, combined with the aggressive nature of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has made this disease difficult to treat. The global rate of HNSCC continues to rise, accounting up to 25% of all new cancer cases. But despite advances in treatment, the five year survival rate has remained stagnant for decades. Therefore a clearer understanding of the formation and progression of HNSCC is essential to the development of better therapeutic approaches to prevent and treat HNSCC patients. Recent studies have identified yes associated protein (YAP) ii as a potential target. YAP is a highly conserved transcriptional coactivator and has been found amplified as well as its expression upregulated and active in HNSCCs. In this study we hypothesize that YAP plays a key role in the development and progression of HNSCC. Our results show that activated YAP can transform and induce epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) of our immortalized but nontransformed oral keratinocyte cell line OKF6 as seen by its ability to increase proliferation, saturation density, invasion, and induce anchorage independent growth.
