INNOVATIVE MATERIALS SHOWCASE

The 2012 Conference is TESOL Arabia's 18th Annual International Conference and as always we have endeavoured to come up with something new and innovative while at the same time retaining all those successful tried and trusted ingredients from previous conferences.

For the fourth year running, TESOL Arabia is offering a showcase of the latest teaching materials and professional development courses in the conference agenda. As in the last three years we are happy to offer a dedicated strand in our presentation programme running throughout the conference to give publishers, distributors, education establishments etc. a chance to showcase their latest products. In similar conferences, such strands are very popular. One of the things that help such popularity was the exhibitors’ tendency to give away free samples of their products.

TESOL Arabia 2012 is announcing an "Innovative Material Showcase" and inviting submissions for consideration. It is open to all companies and institutions, whether they are exhibiting at the conference or not, who would like to promote a particular educational product, range of products, or services, in a presentation. There will be a fee payable of AED 625 per presentation slot, but the presenter of the Innovative Material Showcase sessions will not need to pay either conference fees or TESOL Arabia membership fees. In case of more than one presenter, then the co-presenter(s) has to pay conference fees.

In order to apply to give such a presentation, all you need to do is to complete the Innovative Material Showcase form and email it to the conference co-chairs (), who along with a committee of three active TESOL Arabia members, will select a limited number of proposals for inclusion in the conference programme.

So, to summarise:

  • The “Innovative Material Showcase” is a commercial strand open to all companies and institutions with educational products or services to promote, whether they are exhibiting at the conference or not
     
  • The fee is 625 AED per accepted presentation
     
  • Proposals should be emailed to
     
  • Innovative Material Showcase presentations will be listed in the Conference Programme along with all other break-out sessions
     
  • One Presenter per an Innovative Material Showcase will not need to pay conference fees or TESOL Arabia membership fees.
