Area of the World from Which You Will Present: Thessaloniki, Greece
Language in Which You Will Present: English
Target Audience(s): English language teachers, English language and literature Undergraduates, Anyone familiar with English Language Teaching theory
Short Session Description (one line): An international collaborative initiative with the purpose of writing Wikipedia entries about all the important ELT personalities, English Teaching Associations as well as enriching Wikipedia with even more ELT terms.
Full Session Description (as long as you would like): The ELT Wikipedia project started a few months ago. People involved in the in this initiative will write entries about the ELT personality they are interested in, or a term that still does not exist in Wikipedia, or the English Teaching Association in their country. No one is allowed to write an entry about themselves because the purpose of the project is that the entry editors are either already familiar with an eminent ELT personality’s work OR want to explore these people’s work more by studying and writing about them. The initiative is still at an early stage but has already been accepted with enthusiasm by several people and we now want to share it with a wider audience.
