Or Afrikaans for South Africans? 08:46:55 jmart -> Not all Korean schools have the same schedule. 08:47:22 Stoakley -> The Daejeon-ChungCheong Chapter SPECIFICALLY changed meetings to cater to K-teachers 08:47:30 jmart -> MattinDaegu: We are in Korea and most people are working with Koreans. 08:47:45 MattinDaegu -> true, but we are all teaching English 08:48:09 MattinDaegu -> and this brings up the issue of competence 08:50:29 jmart -> Accademic language fluency is not the same as conversational fluency and you have to meet people where they are.

I'd like to know how the conference will address this issue in the future to make the process more personal, and show more respect for all canidates submitting papers for the call. 07:21:56 Jeff -> http://shomuni.blogspot.com/ 07:24:32 chosunbimbo -> @Sara I think you have to take into consideration there were in excess of 300 proposals received by the program team - While they were form letters that people received they were professional and in line with any other rejection or acceptance letter you might have received from any other organisation 07:25:55 chosunbimbo -> This will be the first year in A LONG TIME there have been contests for various positions 07:26:05 chosunbimbo -> Am I the only one here? 07:26:06 chosunbimbo -> Hello 07:26:12 chosunbimbo -> Is this thing on? 07:26:21 peadar -> its here 07:26:22 chosunbimbo -> *tap* *tap* 07:27:07 peadar -> I can however say having recieved one of those letters it was not inline with what was sent to me last year 07:27:20 chosunbimbo -> rejection letter? 07:27:36 peadar -> was rejected last year and accepted this year 07:30:08 chosunbimbo -> interesting - I got one - but being on concomm I knew the same day that the mail went out and paid it little attention - what did it say 07:31:08 peadar -> it required you to download and check a full list of accepted proposals to see if you had ben accepted or rejected 07:31:52 craignl -> I find Paedar's comment on rejection/acceptance from year to year interesting. As someone who participated in the vetting process, I was somewhat concerned that there were no clear guidelines for vetting proposals. Having been part of Conference planning teams, both international, that's one area the Conference Committee might consider for improvment (sorry that I'm veering a bit off topic). 07:32:52 craignl -> Sorry, the last sentence should read '...both international and national' 07:33:06 peadar -> its a great point I just worry that the way the notifications were handeld this year might discourage presenters in the future 07:33:49 saradavila -> I've been a presenter at the international for about five years. The acceptance/rejection process this year was much different form last year. 07:34:05 saradavila -> This year to find out if you were accepted or rejected you had to read a list of accepted proposals. 07:34:18 saradavila -> Last year a form letter was sent to presenters who had been accepted. 07:34:37 saradavila -> A seperate letter to presenters who had been rejected, thanking them for time and encouraging them to resubmit. 07:34:48 craignl -> Yes, usually when I have made proposals to other international conferences I have usually gotten a message courteously but clearly saying 'Yes' or 'No' 07:35:35 chosunbimbo -> Ah I see - I didn't realise it was just one email to everyone who su
