This year, the 18th KOTESOL International Conference is very proud to welcome our partners from the Pan-Asia Consortium of national TESOL organisations to Seoul. Last year, I was the Korean representative at the PAC conference hosted by the Philippine Association of Language Teachers in Manila during their international conference. I’m very pleased to be able to return the hospitality that the PALT team offered to the PAC delegates in Manila. I’m also delighted with the quality – and quantity – of presentations that we are able to offer KOTESOL members at this year’s conference. The theme of this year’s conference Advancing ELT in the Global Context considers the question of identity. As professionals in the field of English language teaching we are sometimes pigeon-holed as ‘English teacher,’ but our view of our profession is sometimes at odds with others’ views. Likewise, who are our students – really? What do they want, and how do they want it delivered? I hope to hear some interesting discussion on these topics over the conference weekend. The 2010 Conference committee has worked tirelessly over the last 12 months to bring this event to fruition. Many of the committee members are veterans, but every year we welcome new talent aboard the committee – and this year has been no exception. I would especially like to thank my partner chair, Dr. Kyungsook Yeum from Sookmyung’s TESOL Department and my co-chair Julien McNulty who will take the reins in 2011. Everyone on the committee has contributed enormously to the success of our conference, but I do want to mention our President Bob Capriles, who stepped in as the liaison officer, bringing in the publishers whose stands are so popular with conference-goers. I also want to thank Sean O’Connor, who makes everything happen – from beam projectors to delivery trucks, Ingrid Zwaal,who musters all our volunteers during the set-up and tear-down, Phil Owen, our program veteran, Marilyn Plumlee, who is a valuable fund of knowledge and experience and, of course, Dave Shaffer, who seems to know everything and everybody related to KOTESOL. I’ve also received a lot of support and advice from Louisa Kim, last year’s conference chair, who came back in 2010 to take charge of registration. Thanks also to Maria Pinto, our program editor, who I have kept waiting for far too long for this welcome note. All the work of the conference committee would be for nothing if it was not for you! Thank you to all my fellow KOTESOL members for being the excellent and dedicated professionals that you are. If it wasn’t for you, the KOTESOL International Conference would not have been happening for the past 18 years. I hope you enjoy the conference weekend! Stephen-Peter Jinks KOTESOL Conference Chair www.kotesol.org 8 KOTESOL International Conference 2010, Seoul PAC2010 Conference Chair’s Welcoming Message Distinguished speakers, special guests, honorable representatives of our partner organizations, KOTESOL members, and all of our ELT colleagues! I am honored to offer a warm welcome to all of you who are attending the 2010 PAC-KOTESOL International Conference! For our participants from all over the world, we have planned a cross-cultural and intellectual “festival” in its true sense for English educators everywhere. "PAC" is short for the Pan-Asian Consortium of Language Teaching Societies. The Pan-Asian Consortium (PAC) is a series of conferences, publications, and research networks across Asia. PAC was initially created in 1994 through the collaborative efforts of the Japan Association for Language Teaching (JALT), Korea TESOL (KOTESOL), and Thailand TESOL (ThaiTESOL). In the ensuing 16 years, PAC has expanded its partnership to include the English Teachers Association of the Republic of China (ETA-ROC), the Far East English Language Teachers Association of Russia (FEELTA), the English Language and Literature Teachers Association of Singapore (ELLTAS), and the Philippine Association for Language Teaching (PALT). This year, KOTESOL is very excited to host the PAC 2010 conference on behalf of the PAC associations. “Advancing ELT in the Global Context” is the conference theme, addressing the issue of language teaching and learning in the broader socio-cultural perspective. As language teachers and learners, our multi-faceted and ever-changing individual identities – how we see ourselves and how we are seen by others–shape our attitudes, actions, and reactions to language teaching/learning. PAC 2010 will be a forum for educators to share their ideas, innovations, experience, action research, and research findings in the global context. The conference team is proud of our line-up of more than a dozen world-renowned speakers and around 150 presenters scheduled to enlighten us on the future directions of the profession and cutting-edge techniques in the age of English as a “global language.” In addition, PAC 2010 will provide a forum for cross-cultural communication as well as exposure to competitive and compatible ideas to promote the profession. What is also particular to PAC 2010 and previous PAC conferences is the concurrent holding of the Asian Youth Forum (AYF), which brings together youth from around Asia to promote leadership skills, cross-cultural understanding, international cooperation, and peace in the region and around the world. No doubt, today's conference will take you to a new horizon of intellectual challenges, cross-cultural exchanges, and dynamic networking opportunities. Most of all, I hope it will remind you of the joyfulness of your profession, its challenges, and rewards. I hope that you fully enjoy the educational, fraternal, and festive moments that the Conference provides. Thank you. Kyungsook Yeum, Chair, PAC 2010 Administrative Professor SMU TESOL, Sookmyung Women’s University KOTESOL International Conference 2010, Seoul 9 www.kotesol.org KOTESOL President’s Welcoming Address As the President of KOTESOL it is an honor to welcome this year’s attendees and participants to KOTESOL’s 18th Annual International Conference. This year is especially significant in that we are hosting the Pan-Asian Consortium of Language Teaching Societies (PAC 2010) and the Asian Youth Forum (AYF) in addition to the International Conference. This is the largest English-speaking conference in the Republic of Korea. We have guests from all over Asia: Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan, Russia, Singapore, the Philippines, and many other Asian nations. Not to mention that our own organization has members from the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, India, and many other nations throughout the world. This truly makes this conference a Global Conference. The theme of this year’s conference is “Advancing ELT in The Global Context” which I believe it will truly be. English has become a language of more than just a few countries, it has become the medium for the world to communicate with each
