In the world of EFL, international conferences offer excellent opportunities to exchange information and to stay informed about the latest ideas and research. However, for many EFL professionals, attending international conferences is not possible for a variety of reasons, including logistical concerns as well as financial considerations. Increasingly, institutions are looking for more cost - effective and localized arenas for professional development. I participated in such an activity at a university language program in Korea where we held an in house conference, or mini - conference, during orientation week at the start of every semester. The participants always found these sessions educational, informative, or at the very least, a chance to get together and network with colleagues. This approach took our belief in student - centered education and extended it into teacher - centered in - service training and professional development.
