Description of Conference: On 14-16 May 2010, we are very proud to be organizing the 6th International ELT Research Conference with the chosen theme of: CURRENT TRENDS IN SLA RESEARCH AND LANGUAGE TEACHING in Selçuk/Ephesus, ?zmir/Turkey. The conference is organised under the auspices of Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Faculty of Education, ELT Department, in collaboration with Educational Research Association, Turkey.
The 6th International ELT Research Conference aims to provide the highest calibre of ELT research by means of keynote speakers, a large number of scholars and presenters, and scientific and cultural exchange within a friendly, informative and stimulating atmosphere. This year we are honoured to have distinguished scholars as our keynote speakers. Our invited speakers are Ay?e Akyel, Bob Burden, Cem Alptekin, Nick Ellis, and Tony Lynch, whom we believe will turn the event into a truly learning experience. We also expect many international ELT researchers to choose our biannual event as an outlet for their research findings.
Attending conferences can cost more than some of us can afford. This year we have been lucky enough to raise some funds from our sponsors to support some presenters. So far we have managed to raise enough money to finance three postgraduate presenters. We, therefore, invite postgraduate students who cannot get any financial support to apply for a student stipend when they submit their proposals. We really hope to make this event possible for those who really deserve.
The conference is also supported by two international journals, International Journal of Research in ELT and Journal of Theory and Practice in Education. Selected papers will be considered and given priority for publication in these journals. International Journal of Research in ELT is a newly established research journal to be published by Educational Research Association http://eab.org.tr/ and will be first launched in January 2011 with selected papers/articles from the conference programme while Journal of Theory and Practice in Education http://eku.comu.edu.tr will publish a special issue on SLA research and language teaching in 2010.
