Call for Papers
Dear BRAZ-TESOL members,
The 13th BRAZ-TESOL National Convention ‘Proud to Be’ will be held at Faculdade CCAA in Rio de Janeiro between 16 and 19 July 2012.
A forum for professionals in the field of English Language Teaching, the convention promotes the discussion of practical and theoretical issues related to the teaching of English to speakers of other languages. It is a unique opportunity for BRAZ-TESOL members and international colleagues to get together, present their work and reflect on their practice.
The Academic Committee invites all BRAZ-TESOL members – teachers, teacher trainers, researchers, program administrators, and material writers – to submit proposals for presentations at the Convention.
There will be two types of presentations for members to choose from:
- Workshop
Duration: 1h30
Purpose: to share and practice the knowledge and skills that are the workshop's focus, providing a large degree of audience participation, interaction, and hands-on exercises. The connection between the theory and practice must be clear in the presentation in order to enhance the skills and broaden the perspective of participants
- Talk
Duration: 45min
Purpose: to share with the audience ideas, activities, materials and/or research results concerning the topic in question. Talks are almost exclusively directed by the presenter although a brief amount of time may be allowed at the end for questions.
The closing date for receipt of proposals is March 12, 2012, but we encourage you to submit your work as early as possible. Click here to submit your proposal form.
All proposals will be read by members of the Academic Committee and designated readers, and notification of acceptance will be sent by mid-April, 2012.
All presenters must be BRAZ-TESOL members, and must register for the convention before submitting a proposal.
Please note: Workshops, papers and talks at BRAZ-TESOL conventions are usually conducted in English; however, proposals for presentations in Portuguese will be considered.
Closing Date: March 12, 2012
We look forward to hearing from you and receiving your proposal.

President, BRAZ-TESOL
