Dear Esteemed Asia TEFL Members,

How are you? At this time, I am happy to announce that The Journal of Asia TEFL has been accepted for indexing in Scopus, the largest database of abstracts and citations for scholarly journal articles, considered equivalent to the SCI-class databases. On this occasion, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to all the people involved with the Journal for their great contributions to the Journal. If you would like to contribute a paper to the Journal and/or subscribe to it, please visit the Asia TEFL website and go to the Publications section.

The 9th Asia TEFL Conference will be held at the Hotel Seoul KyoYuk MunHwa HoeKan in Seoul, Korea, on July 27-29, 2011. The conference theme is "Teaching English in a Changing Asia: Challenges and Directions." The deadline for the submission of presentation proposals is March 1, 2011. For more information about the 2011 conference, please visit the Asia TEFL website: http://www.asiatefl.org

About twenty internationally renowned scholars will be invited to talk as the plenary and featured speakers. About 500 paper presentations will be made in diverse presentation types including research papers, teaching demonstrations, workshops and colloquia, and poster presentations. About 1,500 participants are expected at this world-class English language teaching convention.

Asia TEFL is proud to be awarding travel grants to about 25 concurrent session presenters and giving Outstanding Presentation Paper Grants to about five persons. These paper grants will be awarded to individuals whose paper addresses Asian-specific ELT issues and concerns, and provides outstanding resolutions and pedagogic implications (innovations). For more information, please visit the Asia TEFL website,

Asia TEFL strives to be a better stage for you to perform a more important role in English language teaching and learning in Asia through the annual conference and The Journal of Asia TEFL. I sincerely hope many of you will participate in the 2011 Seoul conference. The 2011 call for presentation is now available on the website.

Respectfully,
Hyo Woong Lee, Ph.D.
President of Asia TEFL
