Qatar TESOL Second International Conference: April 13-14th, 2007

Duhail, Doha 

Call for Papers - Deadline extended to 1 February 2007 

Conference Theme and Topics of Interest 
The theme for the second annual Qatar TESOL 2007 conference is Challenges and 
Solutions in ELT. Proposals which apply this theme to the context of the 
classroom of the Gulf are welcome. 

Many changes are taking place in education in the region, and educational 
reforms are being implemented. Government policy is looking tothe future, model 
schools are opening, and ELT professionals are working in a changing 
environment. How are we meeting these challenges? What solutions are we finding 
in our own teaching situations? How are students responding to these solutions? 
Is learning improving? What techniques, methods, materials and activities best 
meet the needs of students? The Qatar TESOL Conference committee is looking for 
proposals which offer innovative answers to these questions.
