Appropriate Paper / Abstract Topics

Participants at CamTESOL 2009 will be comprised of local Cambodian and expatriate educators as well as those from international institutions.  Abstracts which present innovative approaches in the conference streams and which would be of interest to both local and international conference participants are encouraged.  When preparing their presentations, presenters should consider the context of Cambodian TESOL where most schools have limited resources and teachers often have to contend with large numbers of students in their classrooms.  As a result, the CamTESOL Program Committee, when selecting abstracts for the conference, takes into account the local context as well as the areas of interest for international participants.  Within the conference streams, successful proposals may consider both the interests of the international participants and the local needs of the Cambodian participants. Some successful presentations may include:

• Developing supplementary materials, having students develop course materials, implementing integrated approaches in curriculum, adapting teaching materials / texts to the local context, teaching students with limited resources, how to utilise authentic materials at all levels (curriculum and materials development):

• Professional report writing, English for tourism (EAP and ESP);

• How to increase learner autonomy (independent learning);

• Teaching grammar communicatively, teaching mixed level classes (methodology);

• Using short stories to motivate learners (motivation);

• Teacher awareness of student attitudes (professional development);

• Effective management skills, how to manage special programs, developing a successful adult ESP program (program / school management);

• Innovative strategies for teaching reading / speaking / writing, teaching speaking with task based approaches, encouraging communication in    large classes (teaching reading / speaking / writing);

• Non-traditional forms of assessment and testing, response analysis and reliability (testing); and

• Using cartoons and posters to teach young learners (teaching young learners).

Deadline for abstract of papers, workshops or poster sessions was 26 October, 2007. Abstracts were selected and approved by the CamTESOL Program Committee, and presenters have been informed of acceptance to present at the conference.
