KOTESOL National Conferences are one of two major Korea TESOL annual conferences, along with the annual International Conferences. There are also chapter and regional-level smaller conferences each year, plus regular "Chapter meetings" where academic sessions are held.
Traditionally the National Conferences were held in late Spring, while the International Conference was held in mid-Autumn, but Covid has impacted thngs, and recently the scheduling for these two events have been swapped.
National Conference 2020 was our first experience with online-only conferencing, although there had been previous conferences with partial simultaneous webcasting and onsite recordings hosted hours laters on the web.
