Advertising and Sponsorship Packages

Overview

The Conference

IDP established the CamTESOL conference series officially in 2005.  A trial forum was conducted in late 2004 to determine the level of interest in such a conference.  That 2004 trial (a CamTESOL workshop) drew a far larger crowd than expected (over 600 participants) and also provided a mechanism for considerable input and feedback for the development of the conference series.

The conference is designed to be practical and of direct benefit to practising teachers of English.  The aims of the conference are to:

• provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and dissemination of information on good practices within English Language Teaching

• strengthen and broaden the network of  English Language teachers and all those involved in the English Language Teaching (ELT) sector in Cambodia

• increase the links between the ELT community in Cambodia and the international ELT community

• showcase research in the field of ELT

The conference brings together the following groups of stakeholders from Cambodia and the broader Asian region as well as other international participants and presenters:

• Classroom teachers of English

• Future teachers of English / teacher-trainees

• Administrators of English Language Schools and Universities

• Educators with an interest in supporting English and international education

• ELT-related individuals and institutions e.g. book publishers, bookshop representatives, Ministry of Education representatives, NGO representatives

• Foreign experts or researchers on Cambodia who wish to network within the ELT community in Cambodia

The 5^th CamTESOL Conference on English Language Teaching will be held on 21-22 February 2009 at the National Institute of Education.  The theme of the 2009 conference will be “The Globalisation of ELT: Emerging Directions".  

The format of the conference will include presentations from invited international plenary speakers and contributed papers and workshops in up to 19 streams aimed at encouraging more interactive participation from delegates. 

This national event is of relevance to anyone involved in the education sector.  The advertising packages below provide excellent opportunities for direct access to over 900 delegates who regularly attend this conference.  Sponsorship for Government teachers from the provinces is strongly encouraged, as these teachers are the least privileged participants in the conference.  The conference aims to achieve sponsorship for at least 100 high school teachers from the provinces each year.
