| Title | TESOL Symposium on ELT in Resource-Challenged Contexts |
| Body | From: http://www.tesol.org/s_tesol/sec_document.asp?CID=23&DID=2945 TESOL Symposium on ELT in Resource-Challenged Contexts Sofitel Teranga Dakar Hotel Dakar, Senegal December 16-17, 2005 Given the growing role of English as a global language, English language teaching (ELT) affects economic, political, and social development in countries worldwide. Sub-Saharan Africa, a region with tremendous linguistic diversity, offers challenges as well as opportunities for ELT. Common challenges include coping with overcrowded classrooms, managing with a lack of resources, and designing appropriate and relevant materials. This TESOL symposium provides an opportunity for English language teaching professionals in Sub-Saharan Africa to learn from and interact with leading experts in the field and their colleagues in the region. The speakers will share their work and research on ELT in resource-challenged contexts to help participants develop insights and skills. In the morning, each speaker will present highlights of their work and perspectives on the topic. Each speaker will then lead an afternoon breakout session. During the closing session, another leading expert will summarize the topic and the speakers will answer participants' questions and comments. TESOL will publish and mail the speakers' papers and final proceedings to participants after the symposium.
