The TESOL Doctoral Forum is a student-run conference held every year the day before the annual TESOL International Convention & English Language Expo. The forum provides a venue for doctoral students to
- Share research methods, dissertation processes, teaching and learning, and resources
- Meet and network with doctoral students and faculty from other universities
- Gain experience organizing a conference, adjudicating proposals, and other professional activities
- Participate in formal presentations about their research at the TESOL convention without having to compete with experienced professionals for time on the convention program
Master's level students have their own forum, called the Graduate Student Forum.
Information on the 2013 forum will be available on the
convention website in August 2012.
