JALTCALL 2007 - Conference Report

Aaron has posted a review of the JALTCALL 2007 - Conference Report. Go give it a read. Aaron doesn’t blog often, but when he does it is always worth reading.

Just a reminder that guest entry submissions are always welcome here. If you attend a conference, write a review. If you have some thoughts on current issues in ELT, a great lesson plan or comments on a journal you read, please write something here. I think that this is a great idea for people who would like to post thier thougths, but don’t want to maintain a blog or if you have a blog, but it’s not ELT centred.

Hey EFL Geek….I ran into a guy named Martin who said he knew you and had done some kind of Japanese/Korean exchange project with you online. 

Does Korea have a CALL conference?  If so, when is it?

Aaron,
Yeah Martin is a great guy we did an exchange project about 2 years back. It was pretty good, but the biggest difficulty we had was the timing with Korean and Japanese semesters.

There was a Call conference last November that I presented at, but the organizer (a great guy) had a falling out with KOTESOL so I’m not sure when the next one will be.
