7th TESOL Türkiye International ELT Conference
TESOL Türkiye is pleased to announce that the 7th TESOL Türkiye International ELT Conference will take place on 15th – 16th May 2026. The conference will be hosted by TED Bodrum College, Muğla, in Türkiye. The event welcomes presenters and participants interested in language teaching, learning, and professional development.
CONFERENCE THEMES
TESOL Türkiye is a national association of ELT professionals dedicated to enhancing the quality of English language teaching and fostering lifelong learning across all levels of education in Türkiye. With a focus on collaboration, innovation, and inclusiveness, the association creates opportunities for shared growth and professional development. The 2026 conference theme,
Mediation in ELT for a Connected World
explores language’s dual role: as a powerful tool for mediation, bridging meaning, culture, and diverse perspectives, and as a vital medium of connection. Mediation, in this sense, enables empathy, collaboration, and transformation that are crucial for success, whether in educational leadership, assessment, language teacher development, or the pursuit of quality. Therefore, we encourage submissions that delve into how effective communication builds trust and shared vision across all domains of ELT, fostering human-centered practices in our increasingly complex educational landscape.
