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

Lightening Talk

“What methodology or technique changed your view of yourself as a teacher / professional?”
