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.

The 2012 Doctoral Forum

The 2011 Doctoral Forum will be held Wednesday, March 28, 2012, 9 am to 5 pm, in conjunction with the 2012 TESOL International Convention & English Language Expo in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. For general information on the 2012 convention, visit the TESOL convention Web page.

The organizer of the 2012 Doctoral Forum is Monica McCrory, a doctoral student from the University of Texas at Austin.
