UIN/IAIN Third Colloquium & ELF Mid-Year Conference

The Third UIN/IAIN Conference will be held in UIN Jakarta on January 25-27, 2006. All Indonesian ELFs will join this, and the ELFs hosted by UIN/IAIN will bring along 1 (or 2?) of their counterparts. Kyle and Mike are arranging this colloquium. Hope this will be another big bang in the efforts of improving English Language Teaching in the UINs/IAINs and also in fostering cooperation and standardization among them.

The Mid-Year Conference will follow, Jan 27 - 29, 2006 in JW Mariott Hotel, Jakarta. The plan of holding it in Puncak area was not quite feasible in terms of distance. All the Indonesian ELFs will be there and hope that the other ELFs from the region (Malaysia, the Philippines, where else?) will also be able to participate. Mike is working hard arranging everything. Like the Mid-Year Conferences held in Bangkok in the previous years, we hope that this 2,5 day meeting in Jakarta will be able to add the insights, renew the spirit and everyone will benefit from it to make the other half of the term a better time of service.

See you all.
