FOREWORD
The 17th Annual Korea TESOL International Conference was held at Sookmyung
Women’s University on October 24-25, 2009. Nearly 1,400 international and
Korea-based attendees gathered in Seoul, South Korea, for a weekend of teacher
development under the conference theme of Pursuing Professional Excellence in
ELT. The two-day Conference offered plenary sessions by David Nunan, Rod Ellis,
Kathleen Bailey, and Tim Murphey as well as nine featured speaker sessions by
Scott Thornbury, John Fanselow, Jill Burton, John Flowerdew, Jerry Gebhard,
Jeannette Littlemore, Stephen Andrews, Scott Miles, and Marc Helgesen. Prof.
Helgesen was also the banquet speaker. In addition, the Conference included
more than 170 concurrent sessions of various formats including research paper
presentations, workshops, and colloquia.

This volume includes twenty-three papers, which fall into fourteen categories:
classroom management, conversation/pronunciation, course/materials design,
cross-cultural/intercultural communication, learning preferences/styles, multiple
skills, reading/literacy, research methodology, second language acquisition, teacher
development, technology-enhanced instruction, testing/evaluation, video in the
classroom, and vocabulary.

Within these fourteen categories, papers range from teaching very young learners
to teaching adults, from teaching low-proficiency to high-proficiency students, from
teaching the unmotivated to teaching the highly motivated. There are papers that
deal with honing testing instruments and others that propose test-light assessment.
Papers on technology-heavy instruction deal with CALL and video, both
commercials and animation. There are papers on Extensive Reading, scaffolding,
and L1 use in the classroom. There are even research papers on research: on
collecting and interpreting data and on analyzing Likert scale data.

The range and the depth of the papers presented in this volume of KOTESOL
Proceedings 2009 is testimony to the time and energy that EFL practitioners invest
in the pursuit of professional excellence. What appears in this collection is but a
sampling of the presentations that were presented at the 2009 KOTESOL
International Conference, but we feel that it is a strong sampling.

It is our pleasure to present to you this volume of KOTESOL Proceedings 2009.

We would like to thank the authors of the papers collected here for their
cooperation and patience with the editing process, and of course, for making their
contributions to this volume. We hope that you will enjoy reading the papers in this
publication in your own pursuit of professional excellence.
