  Call for Papers
 

EXPO ELT Brazil 2007 welcomes proposals for seminars and workshops on all aspects of English Language Training, including teaching and methods for teachers, as well as educational management for administrators and directors. This may be your opportunity to share your knowledge and expertise with hundreds of people in the ELT field!

All proposals will be evaluated by the Selecting Committee, which is dedicated to choosing a variety of high quality workshops that will meet the needs of a diverse audience of ELT professionals.


  Rating Criteria for Proposals:
The Selecting Committee will review all abstracts and will select those which...
a. have a direct relationship to the conference and are relevant to the audience. (Please see our list of conference topics.)
b. are original (not delivered previously or a repetition of someone else's paper/work).
c. have a clear and precise organization.
d. guarantee the Committee that the speaker knows the subject.
e. guarantee the Committee that the presenter has extensive experience and success in conducting seminars.
f. are complete, edited and free of typographical mistakes.
g. are not used to promote or sell the products or services of the speaker or others.


 
  Presentations:
The standard length for presentations will be 90 minutes.
While the assumption is that presentations will be largely speaker-centered, presenters are nonetheless encouraged to include and involve their audience, presenting in such a way as to stimulate the interest of the audience. For this reason we strongly discourage the reading aloud of written papers.

Before submitting your proposal, please read the notes below:
1. Presenters should not speak at any other event on the dates of the conference (regardless of the date of your presentation).
2. Individuals may not submit or appear on more than two proposals, either as lead or co-presenters.
3. Do not submit a proposal or list individuals as co-presenters unless you have a definite commitment that you and/or they will present.
4. If you or your organization is found to promote or sell programs, products, or services (including independent or freelance consulting services) during your academic presentation, you will be fined R$300 and won´t be invited for future events. This policy is consistent with our understanding of what participants expect when they attend the Annual Conference—namely that they are not confronted with commercialism and sales pitches, however subtle, in sessions they choose to attend.
5. The content of the presentation should not change significantly after the proposal is accepted.
6. The Organizing Committee cannot guarantee a minimum or maximum number of registered participants in any presentation. Nor can any presentation be limited as to the number of participants.
7. Upon acceptance of the proposal, proposal owners will be requested to submit a handout.
8. Handouts should only include practical activities or information that participants must have at the presentation (not plain theory).
9. Deadline to submit the handout: April 27, 2007. The handout should be submitted electronically only (by e-mail) according to the specifications given upon acceptance of the proposal.
10. All presenters and co presenters must register and must send a complete Registration Form before April 27, 2007.
11. Registration fee must be paid only by co-presenters. We are happy to offer free admission to presenters.
12. All presenters should wear business attire during their presentations. The purpose of the dress code is to uphold the professional image of the conference.
