FAB11 & KOTESOL
National Conference 2017
"Boosting the Power of ELT ㅡ FABulously!"
ㅡ Neuroscience for enhancing language teaching ㅡ
.
May 13-14, 2017 (Sat.-Sun.)
Sookmyung Women's University, Seoul
.
Korea TESOL is bringing FAB11 to our National Conference and to Korea for the first time ever! The FAB Conference Series, originating in Japan, puts on conferences on "neuroELT"; that is, the findings from neuroscience and their application to English teaching. This may sound very academic, but it is actually very, very practical and provides surprising insights into teaching for the ELT practitioner. KOTESOL is integrating a FAB conference component into our national conference for 2017, giving this two-day event more power to boost our knowledge and skills than ever before.
