Meeting Description:

What the 21st century has brought to our lives in terms of social, cultural,
and technological change has highly influenced the way we think, we teach and
we learn. We are now more aware of the fact that every learner has diverse
needs, expectations, reactions and motivations. For this reason, the concept
of ‘diversity’, which involves embracing people from different social and
cultural backgrounds and encompasses acceptance and respect, can be considered
as one of the core points in foreign language education. We would like to
welcome you all to the 12th ODTÜ International ELT Convention to embrace both
the mainstream and exceptions, to blend traditional with modern, and to
celebrate diversity by sharing different perspectives, applications and
practices in foreign language education.

Call for Papers:

Based on the basic principle “One size does not fit all”, the 12th ODTÜ International ELT Convention aims to cover the issues related to (but not limited to) the following aspects of foreign language education within the framework of ‘diversity’:

- Diversity in student profile (students with different types of learning styles, backgrounds, needs, interests, motivations and emotions)
- Diversity in teacher profile (primary, secondary, tertiary, novice and experienced teachers and researchers)
- Diversity in teaching and learning practices
- Diversity in assessment techniques and methodology
- Diversity in material design
- Diversity in teacher training and continuous professional development
- Diversity in the use of English grammar, pronunciation and skills (with a focus on ‘ELF)
- Cultural diversity
