TESOL Research Conference Slated as QNCC s Inaugural Event
Doha, September 18 (QNA) - The Qatar National Convention Centre will host its inaugural event October 1-3: the TESOL International Association s "Putting Research into Practice" conference.
The three-day conference gathers experts from around the region and across the world to focus on key areas of applied research in the field of English language teaching.
The conference is organized by Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages, Inc. (TESOL) in collaboration with university partners in Qatar, Qatar TESOL, TESOL Arabia and other TESOL affiliates in the region.
"Increased English language proficiency is a strategic goal for Qatar and many countries around the world today. Learning English should not mean losing Arabic, however, and figuring out how to do this in the best way possible requires extensive research." said conference chair Dudley Reynolds, Ph.D, Teaching Professor of English at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar and a member of the Board of Directors for the TESOL International Association.
