There are a variety of speaking and participation opportunities available for the 2023 conference! The focus questions for the event are:
- How does quality assurance underpin our Profession?
- What does it mean to be an English Language Teaching Professional in Australia, ASEAN and beyond? How does this relate to the global context?

NEAS is now seeking abstracts for the below categories.
Plenary speaker
30 mins + 5 mins Q&A
Plenary presentations must be based upon the conference theme / questions.
Lightening Talk
3 mins
A strictly timed, short, sharp, engaging presentation which answers:
“What methodology or technique changed your view of yourself as a teacher / professional?”
A presentation intended to spark discussion among conference participants. The intent is for these talks to provide a venue in support of new ideas and newcomers to the ELT community. Lightning Talks are a great way to get early feedback on a work in progress, to demo a new tool or technique, or to find potential collaborators!
