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
