Make that proposal!
Dr. Eric Reynolds
Abstract
No, gents (and ladies) this research special interest group (R-SIG) workshop will not help you to make that proposal! Instead, this workshop will help participants with little, lots, or no experience at all in making conference presentation proposals to write a better and more successful conference proposal. Specifically focusing on the KOTESOL International conference’s and the TESOL Convention’s call for proposals, which are due on May 31st and June 1st respectively, we will look at the various requirements for proposal abstracts including conference themes, presentation types, interest section involvement, and abstract content, as well as the criteria that are used to evaluate the proposals. Working with your fellow participants with similar interests you will receive direct and constructive feedback on your proposal ideas in order to understand how your peers (and the peer-reviewers) evaluate your proposals. Bring your tablet of laptop so you can walk out of this workshop with a winning proposal in hand ready to submit to the conferences of your choice!
