Papers should focus on research or effective practices regarding the teaching of English to speakers of Arabic. This year, we are especially interested in papers concerning teaching to traditionally marginalized groups, incorporating social justice issues into teaching practice, collaborating with other content teachers, and meaningful assessment; however, papers on any topic appropriate to the conference focus will be considered. Papers will be delivered in one of two formats: presentation or poster.
Presentation
A presentation should consist of up to 10 minutes for the initial presentation and up to 10 minutes for audience questions.
Poster
For a poster session, prepare a visual display of your research and be available to discuss it with participants for a 20-minute session.
To submit your paper, please send an abstract (150-200 words), a short biographical sketch (75-100 words), and an indication of which type of format you prefer by the deadline. Deadline for submissions is April 7, 2023.
Proposals submitted in Arabic will not be reviewed. Proposals must be submitted in English.
For research presentations or posters, your abstract should include a statement of the problem, identification of research methods or teaching method/strategy, and a summary of findings. For other types of submissions, your abstract should describe a statement of the problem you are addressing, a description of your contribution, and an explanation of how it will be of value to the conference audience.
