TELLSI 10 Call for Papers
Dear TELLSI members
The English Language and Literature Department of Shahid Beheshti University is pleased to announce the 10th International TELLSI conference call for papers. This year’s TELLSI conference marks the end of its first decade and the starting point of its second decade. To celebrate this turning point, the organizers have decided to extend the conference days from three to four, Day 1 workshops, Days 2 and 3 presentations, and day 4 symposia. This would provide more slots to be filled in and as a result more contributions from the active members of the ELT community in our country. The deadline for submission of abstracts of papers, posters and symposia will be June 5th 2012 (Khardad 16th 1391). For more detailed information about the conference, please refer to the attached poster and/or conference website.
Best regards,

About
Certified by the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, TELLSI was officially recognized in Farvardin 8, 1383 (March 2007) through the considerable efforts devoted by the deceased Dr. Seyed Ali Akbar Mirhassani and some other English language academicians and experts. TELLSI aims at developing and promoting learners’ knowledge base, improving the quality of experts’ practice and advancing teaching and research. The members of the first society’s board of directors included the departed Dr. Seyed Ali Akbar Mirhassani, Dr. Abdolmehdi Riazi, Dr. Seyed Mohammad Alavi, Dr. Reza Ghafarsamar, Dr. Mahmoud Reza Ataee and Dr. Ali Asghar Eftekhari. In the general assembly held in the society’s 6th annual conference in Gilan, the second board of directors’ election was conducted in which Dr. Riazi, Dr. Mirhassani, Dr. Ghafarsamar, Dr. Alavi, Dr. Marandi, Dr. Hasaskhah, Dr. Mahdavi, Dr. Kiani and Dr. Eftekhari were elected. After Dr. Mirhasani’s demise and Dr. Riazi’s traveling to Canada, another election was run in the 7th TELLSI conference in Yazd University in Mehr, 1388 (October 2009) in order for electing the substitute members; ultimately Dr. Anani (from Shahid Beheshti University) and Dr. Zia Tajoldin (from Alameh Tabatabaee University) were elected as the substitute members. The society is active both nationally and internationally. And presently a considerable number of the members are professors and students from different cities.
