Meeting Description:

On 14-16 May 2010, as Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, ELT Department, we will
be organizing our 6th International ELT Research Conference in one of the most
interesting resorts in Turkey: Selçuk, ?zmir-Turkey. Selçuk is home to the
beautiful ancient Roman city of Ephesus and the House of Virgin Mary. Further
information about the venue can be obtained at http://www.selcuk.bel.tr/ . 

Call for Papers

The 6th International ELT Research Conference aims to provide the highest
calibre of ELT research through our keynote speakers, a large number of scholars
and presenters, and scientific and cultural exchange within a friendly,
informative and stimulating atmosphere. This year we are honoured to have
distinguished scholars as our keynote speakers:

Ay?e Akyel (Yeditepe University, Turkey);
Bob Burden (University of Exeter, UK);
Cem Alptekin (Bo?aziçi University, Turkey);
Nick Ellis (Michigan University, USA); and
Tony Lynch (Edinburgh University, UK).

We believe our invited speakers will turn the event into a truly learning
experience. We also expect many international ELT researchers to choose our
biannual event as an outlet for their research findings.

Postgraduate student stipends will be available as attending conferences can
cost more than some of us can afford. So far we have managed to raise enough
money to finance three postgraduate presenters. However, we are constantly
seeking to raise more money. We really hope to make this event possible for
those who really deserve.

The conference is also supported by two international journals, International
Journal of Research in ELT and Journal of Theory and Practice in Education.
Selected papers will be considered and given priority for publication in these
journals. International Journal of Research in ELT is a newly established
research journal to be published by Educational Research Association, Turkey,
http://eab.org.tr/  and will be first launched in January 2011 with selected
papers/articles from the conference programme while Journal of Theory and
Practice in Education http://eku.comu.edu.tr  will publish a special issue on
SLA research and language teaching in 2010.

Proposals for oral presentations, workshops, and poster presentations are
invited on the following (but not limited to) themes:

Language Learning and Acquisition 
Teacher Training and Education 
Approaches and Methods in English Education 
English Language Curriculum and Teaching Materials  
Culture and Literature in English Education 
Language Testing and Evaluation 
Early English Education 
Multimedia and ICT in English Education 
Translation Studies & Language Teaching 
Life-long Language Learning 
Intercultural Communication
English as an International Language 
Lingua Projects

Speakers can choose to do an oral presentation (30'), a workshop (45'), or a
poster presentation. Speakers are expected to submit a minimum 500-word
structured abstract via our electronic submission system at
http://www.comuelt.com until January 15, 2010.  All proposals will be
blind-reviewed by the Screening Committee for scope and quality.
