Factoids on KOTESOL Conferences
The first KOTESOL conference was held on October 16-17, 1993, at Wonkwang University in Iri (now Iksan), Jeollabuk-do, celebrating KOTESOL’s first anniversary.
This year is KOTESOL's 26th autumn conference (1993-2018); one has been held every year since KOTESOL was formed.
The KOTESOL International Conference is the largest annual ELT conference held in Korea.
Approximately 200 English teachers attended KOTESOL’s first conference in 1993. Attendance has grown to over 800 each year since 2007, with over 1,550 in 2010. (Numbers have returned to the norm of "around 800.")
