A Message from the AzETA Executive Director
AzETA is happy to invite you to our 7th International ELT Conference: TESOL - New Trends & New Challenges, to be held on 13-14 November 2010 at Khazar University in Baku, Azerbaijan. As you see, for the first time in its history AzETA is holding a conference in collaboration with a private University which is one of the first and most prestigious private universities of Azerbaijan.
Join us to share, discuss and reflect on the diversity of issues that impact on the teaching and learning of English as a second or a foreign language. If you enjoyed our previous conference(s), you are certain to enjoy this one, too. If you missed the previous conferences, don’t miss this one!!

Conference Theme
The focus of this conference is the need for ELT practitioners to rethink and reconfigure the way we view and practice our profession in light of rapid global change and new challenges; to think outside the square and to share ideas and practices that are contributing to such thinking.
There Conference will mainly focus on the below issues in ELT:
• Pedagogy (including classroom practice, teacher education)
• Testing and Assessment
• Learners and Learning
• Curriculum & Policy.
Participants will be from early childhood, primary, secondary, TEFL, adult and tertiary sectors, including teachers/scholars who work with language learners at all levels.
Two keynote speakers will be from the UK and one - from Turkey who are international leaders in the field, and conference participants will comprise ELT educators and researchers from Azerbaijan and other countries.
Papers are welcomed from teachers and scholars within the ELT field. At this Conference for the first time in AzETA’s history we also extend the call for proposals to the teachers and scholars of other disciplines that have direct impact on the teaching & learning of English as a foreign or a second language.
