Russia-based ELT Associations, being at the same time an affiliate of TESOL
and IATEFL, two major ELT Associations in the World. To know more about

SPELTA invites proposals for
our forthcoming event, you are welcome to offer not only the theme, but
the format of your contribution till October 3, 2009.
We would like to bring teachers
closer to meeting international standards by raising their awareness of
the current issues in teaching English as a foreign language.
Though the focus of our conference
will be on the educational use of ICT and Web 2.0 tools, a broad
range of burning ELT issues will also be covered by our local speakers
and guests from Russian and international educational institutions.
Presentations on Intercultural
Issues, Teaching Young Learners, Teaching at Schools and Teaching English
for Specific Purposes such as Business, Legal, Medical, Political etc.
Englishes are extremely welcome.
Through various formats such
as panel discussions, presentation talks and workshops we invite the participants
to share knowledge and experience, learn from each other, launch new projects
and promote the best practices in ELT.
We hope that our conference
would give new ideas to all members of teaching community and inspire further
teacher development.
