Meet the SIGs "Pizza Party" Lunch #3837

KOTESOL Special Interest Groups

Sat, Apr 29, 12:00-12:45 Asia/Seoul | LOCATION: P105

Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are your way to connect with like-minded English teachers. Our KOTESOL SIGs have online communities on both our website and Facebook. Some also have offline activities, often in collaboration with chapters. This Meet the SIGs "Pizza Party" Lunch event at the 2023 KOTESOL International Conference will give KOTESOL members an opportunity to hear more about what SIGs have to offer. It will also allow you to ask any questions you may have. A limited number of pizza slices (2~3 pizzas, one vegetarian option), will be available to KOTESOL members on a first-come-first-served basis.

To help organizers prepare for the event, please RSVP via the link: https://forms.gle/zWeHMEy8WiTk8DtDA
