The Call for Proposals for WATESOL’s annual Fall Conference is now open!

In recent years, TESOL professionals have transitioned between traditional in-person and innovative online teaching, engaged with, and have served the needs of a diverse body of students. 

WATESOL welcomes proposals responding to these themes from teachers, teacher educators, program administrators, materials and curriculum developers, language assessment experts, technology specialists, graduate students, researchers, and other professionals in fields related to the learning and teaching of English as an additional language. 

We are seeking proposals for practice-oriented and research-oriented presentations, poster presentations, technology tip presentations, and workshops. Each of these session types is described in greater detail below. The conference will also feature a keynote address, SIG (Special Interest Group) meetings, roundtable discussions, and exhibitors. 

Please read the proposal submission guidelines thoroughly and feel free to contact WATESOL’s Professional Development Co-Chairs at pd@watesol.org with any questions.
