CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
 
The Academic Committee of the 10th National Congress of Teachers and Students of English wishes to invite teacher trainers, teachers, researchers, material writers, and other professionals in fields connected to ELT, translation and interpreting, and education in general to share their views, ideas, projects and experiences with colleagues from all over the country.
 
The theme chosen for this year’s Congress: “Recycling Teaching Strategies” has been thought of as including two different dimensions: a practical one (strategies, techniques, procedures and methods for concrete classroom practice) as well as a more theoretical one (the consideration of models, paradigms and systems of beliefs for teaching and learning languages). Therefore, presentations dealing with both concrete classroom applications and more general reflections on teaching, language and education are encouraged (Within this general framework, presentations that include reports of or proposals for innovative classroom practice or new theories, methodologies or ways of looking at language and language learning and teaching will be favored).
 
Only proposals for WORKSHOPS with a strong component of participation of the audience will be accepted. All workshops will be 60 minutes long and workshop leaders should be prepared to conduct one repeat of their presentations if required. The Committee will allocate the workshops in such a way as to offer the Congress participants as much variety as possible at any given slot and therefore expects workshop leaders to be prepared to make themselves available at any of the times scheduled for workshops. Workshop leaders will be notified of the times when they are expected to conduct their workshops at least 20 days before the date of the opening of the Congress.
 
Of all the proposals submitted, the Academic Committee will select a maximum of ten for presentation during the Congress. The Committee will notify all applicants of their decisions stating clearly the reasons for rejecting or accepting the proposal. All of these communications will be sent to applicants via electronic mail by June 15th. All decisions by the Academic Committee are final.
 
All proposals must contain the following sections:
 
1.      Workshop Leader Proposal Form. In the case of workshops conducted by more than one leader, the workshop leader proposal form should be adapted in such a way that it contains all the relevant information about the people who will run the workshop.  
 
2.      An abstract of their presentation as the workshop leader wishes it to appear in the Congress book. This abstract should not be longer than 100 words and should give Congress participants a clear idea of the content of the workshop so as to help them to choose which workshop to attend.
The applicant should refer to himself /herself using the third person of the singular. Successful candidates might eventually be asked to re-write parts or all of the abstract, in which case one of the members of the Committee will be appointed to guide the workshop leader.  
 
3.      A summary of the content and dynamics of the workshop  which must not exceed two A4 pages. The Academic Committee will base their acceptance or refusal of the proposal on this summary exclusively.
 
4.      A biographical statement  which should not be longer than 50 words (in the case of workshops run by more than one leader, 50 words per workshop leader).
                                                  
The Academic Committee will also accept proposals that require the use of a computer laboratory (18 computers available).
 
Proposals should be written in the language in which the workshop leader is to be run. The official language of the 10th Congress is: English.
All proposals should be e-mailed to: apibb@infovia.com.ar  
The deadline for presentation of proposals is 28th of May.
 
 
All applications for presentations that promote commercial interests will be directly disqualified. Applications by presenters, which offer commercial presentations for the sponsors of the Congress, will not be accepted.
 
Workshop leaders are full members of the Congress and as such they are expected to pay the regular Congress fee to attend it.
 
All Workshop leaders are entitled to a Diploma, which clearly states his or her participation in the Congress as a Workshop leader (Diploma de Disertante). This Diploma will be presented to workshop leaders in the closing ceremony.
