Meeting Description:

The 9th International ELT Research Conference will be organised by Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Faculty of Education, ELT Department, in collaboration with the International Association of Research in Applied Linguistics and Foreign Language Education (UDEAD) from 12-14 May 2016 in Canakkale, Turkey. The chosen theme of this year’s conference is INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES: BEYOND THE BORDERS OF ELT METHODOLOGY. This biennial conference aims to provide a platform enabling the dissemination of high caliber research findings as well as to encourage scientific debate and exchange of ideas in a congenial collegiate setting.  

At our 9th conference, we shall be honoured to introduce some distinguished internationally renowned keynote speakers, including Graham Hall, Simon Borg and Fred Dervin who will enlighten us on various aspects of their own scholarly work and help us to expand our horizons. We would also like to invite all ELT researchers from the international community to share their research findings and submit proposals for oral presentations, workshops or poster presentations.

We believe that this conference will make a valuable contribution to debate and development in the field of ELT, especially with a view to increasing collaboration and cooperation with other disciplines and widening the scope and impact of research efforts. In addition, we hope to provide an opportunity for individual interaction with colleagues old and new and a consequent strengthening of professional and social bonds which could lead to further professional developments for all of us, both as teachers and as researchers.

Keynote Speakers: 

Invitations to join us as keynote speakers have been accepted by Graham Hall, Simon Borg and Fred Dervin, all well-known distinguished scholars in our field, and we shall be honoured to welcome them in Canakkale and to the conference. We look forward greatly to benefitting from their contributions.

Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University looks forward to welcoming you all in Canakkale in May 2016.
