Pre-service language teachers without a proposal are also encouraged to present their TÜBİTAK 2209-A projects that they designed but did not have the opportunity to present and have a discussion with their peers. Thus, the 10th Annual ELT Undergraduate Students’ Conference provides them with a platform to utilize those opportunities.


Participants will have the opportunity to showcase their work, receive valuable feedback from peers and faculty, and connect with fellow researchers in the field. Presenters can only do an oral presentation. For the proposals, presenters are expected to submit a structured abstract that may contain up to 400 words through the abstract submission system. Each submission will undergo blind scrutiny by a minimum of two members of the scientific committee to evaluate its scope and quality and selected presenters will be notified by 24.04.2024. Please note that the deadline for the receipt of abstracts is no later than 17.04.2024. We look forward to your contributions!
