WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Fellow NileTESOL Conference Attendees and Colleagues,
I wish you a warm welcome to the 23rd NileTESOL Annual Conference held
at the American University in Cairo. While at the conference and in Cairo, do
take some time to enjoy the outstanding AUC campus and the spectacular city
of Cairo.
This year’s theme is “Exploring Quality Teaching and Learning: Apply and
Reflect.” As a matter of fact, NileTESOL-sponsored events throughout 2018
have demonstrated the best practices of NileTESOL members as well as their
on-going reflections to enhance their professional development and continue to
serve their fellow ELT professionals both locally and worldwide. This year’s
conference launches our continued dedication for 2019. This conference that
we will enjoy and tremendously learn from would not have been possible
without the dedication of the Conference Organizing Committee, led by both
Sanaa Makhlouf and Amani Demian. Their tireless efforts started almost
immediately after the 2018 conference and continued throughout the year. We
all truly appreciate their hard work in planning and organizing this event. Co-
sponsoring this event with NileTESOL is The School of Continuing Education at
the American University in Cairo. Its pivotal role for the conference, both
logistical and financial, is crucial in allowing this conference to be held year
after year at the amazing New Cairo campus.
I would also like to give a big thank you to our outstanding Board of
Directors and to express my appreciation to the partners and sponsors of this
conference. They include the International Language Bookshop (ILB), IDP
Education IELTS, the Regional English Language Office (RELO) at the US
Embassy, the British Council, Pearson Education, Macmillan, Cairo Book
Center/ MM Publications, Nahdet Misr /Cambridge University Press (CUP),
AMIDEAST, and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. I strongly encourage everyone to
stop by their booths at any time during the conference to learn more about their
offerings and to keep them in mind for your future teaching needs.
On the other hand, it gives me great pleasure to welcome our invited

plenary and featured speakers whose talks and workshops promise not only to
inform our practice as professionals, but also to challenge us to reflect more
often and to further pursue our own professional development. I am also glad to
welcome all our international and local presenters who will make this
conference a memorable learning experience for all of you by sharing their
innovative ideas and expertise. As in prior years, we will all be able to attend
the 45-minute concurrent presentations, Plenary Sessions, 90-minute
Workshops, Poster Session, Panel Discussions, 20X20 presentations,
4
Lightening Talks, and the Annual Colloquium. The variety of sessions to
choose from will allow you to plan your conference schedule which will enable
you to go back to your classroom with new ideas, refined teaching practices,
and knowledge of cutting-edge research in English language teaching.
Moreover, we will see the work of the different Special Interest Groups (SIGs)
at the various SIG sessions as well as the Testing and Assessment SIG
session. I would therefore encourage you to make use of this opportunity to
network with our distinguished guest speakers, conference presenters, and
fellow conference attendees. I myself have always found this conference an
amazing opportunity to return to class with innovative ideas and insights.
This year, I would like to encourage you to attend the General Assembly to
be held on the second day of the conference at 1:00. At this session, you will
get a chance to learn about our 2018 achievements and discover new ways of
becoming involved as an active member of NileTESOL. We will honor a
number of outstanding NileTESOL members and volunteers. Meanwhile, we
will vote for representatives for a number of vacant BOD seats. Do not miss this
session!
Finally, we all know how important it is to improve ourselves professionally

in order to help our students reach their full potential and become competent
communicators in English. As we re-acquaint ourselves with old friends and
network with new colleagues, let us all reflect on how important it is that we
also improve our own communication with each other. This conference is only
worthwhile if we continue the professional relationships we start here. I hope
that we will also be disseminating what we learn with our colleagues in our own
teaching contexts. This allows us to build strong bonds together while
encouraging a constant “flow” of PD within our profession, which leads to new
and notable ideas later on. Inspiration that starts at this year’s conference leads
to new teaching practices in our classrooms, which then in turn becomes
presentations at next year’s conference!
Attending this conference offers much more than just new ideas, so enjoy
the two conference days, meet new people, discover new resources, and do
not miss making new friendships! Go back home with new experiences and
inspirations. Have a wonderful time at this year’s NileTESOL Annual
Conference, 2019!
Sincerely,
Omaima M. Ayoub
NileTESOL President 2018-2019

WELCOME FROM THE CONFERENCE CO-CHAIRS
Dear Colleagues, fellow NileTESOL Members and Conference Attendees,
It is a great honor and pleasure to welcome you all to the 2019 NileTESOL Conference. This
conference brings together ELT professionals not only from all over Egypt, but from other parts of
the globe to share, explore, reflect on and enhance quality teaching and learning which is the
theme of our conference this year. All teachers aspire to provide their learners with the highest
quality instruction, which includes innovative teaching techniques, materials, activities, and tools
that will provide our students with the best quality of teaching and learning. Our coming together in
this conference is a great opportunity to learn from each other’s successful practices, share our
concerns and collaborate to find ways to meet the demands and challenges of the 21 st Century
classroom.
As John Dewey, the well-known American Philosopher and Educational Reformer once said
“Education is NOT preparation for life; education is life itself”. With these simple but eloquent
words we learn that without education, there is no life, no hope and no future. We, therefore,
aspire to be among those who touch people’s lives by offering them the needed skills and tools to
successfully meet the demands and challenges of our time.
This year we have 4 distinguished plenary speakers as well as several workshops, presentations,
lightening talks, 20 x 20 slide shows, two panel discussions, a poster session, and our annual
colloquium focusing on ways of reshaping our teaching and learning as we look at our students’
needs for the 21st Century. We hope that NileTESOL 2019 will be a very rewarding and fruitful
experience that will enrich our teaching and strengthen our affiliation with other professionals in
the field.
Thank you all for attending and actively participating in this important annual conference, and for
making this event conducive to our professional growth and collaboration.
All the very best,
Amani Demian and Sanaa Makhlouf

PLENARY SPEAKERS
NICK BILBROUGH
The Play’s the Thing
January 22nd Bassily Hall (Conference Center) 10:00-10:45 am
Scripted plays have been used to teach English to second language learners since before the time of
Shakespeare. In this plenary I will reflect on my experiences of language learning through drama from
the perspective of both the learner and the teacher. I will also explore how simple plays are being used
with children in refugee camps in Gaza as a tool for empowerment, and as a way to bring their English to
life. From this perspective, I propose a rationale for the performance and creation of plays as a core
component within a modern lexical (Lewis 1993) or play-based (Cook 2000) syllabus.
DR. AMANY BADAWY

Adult Brain Readiness to learn: Implications for Learning/ Teaching Practices
January 22nd Bassily Hall (Conference Center) 2:00-2:45 pm
Adult learning is the participation of adults as of the age of 25 in lifelong learning in an attempt to improve
their working conditions and capitalize on opportunities that were not available to them before. New brain
research is helping us to know about the ability of the brain to change and reorganize itself throughout life.
The purpose of this presentation is twofold. The first is to put in plain words the extent of adults’ readiness
to learn. The second purpose is to propose better practices for creating quality adult learning/teaching
environments, based on what brain research suggests.
GREGG SOTIROPOULOS
Pave the Way with Soft Skills: Why and How
January 23rd Bassily Hall (Conference Center) 9:00-9:45

am
When it comes to education in the 21st century, what’s the difference between hard and soft skills? Which
ones are more important as we prepare students for university and career success? How can we as
English teachers help our learners develop these skills?
Join our session to find out. Together, we will be looking at tasks and activities that optimize students’
development of soft skills.
DR. ADRIENNE JOHNSON

Growth Zone: Exploring the Benefits of Leaving Your (Comfort Zone)
January 23rd Bassily Hall (Conference Center) 2:00-2:45 pm
Teaching and learning are intertwined. The best teachers are constantly learning and seeking to improve.
Yet, trying new strategies and asking for help often takes courage, which is why many teachers choose to
remain in their “comfort zones,” even when previous practices are no longer effective. This talk will explore
the many benefits to leaving those comfort zones, as well as some practical strategies for helping
colleagues and students to do the same.

NILETESOL COLLOQUIUM
Reshaping Teaching and Learning: Students’ Needs for the 21st Century
January 23rd Bassily Hall – Conference Center 3:00-4:45 pm
The 21st century with all its potentialities and challenges requires educators to reshape both teaching and
learning to meet the needs of students and promote the essential skills, knowledge, and values that can
help keep them up-to-date with the growing demands of the present. In a future that is knowledge driven,
education remains the key tool that can enable students to acquire the necessary skills and competencies
of the 21st century. Silva (2009) groups these skills into four categories that include: “...critical thinking,
problem solving, effective communication and collaboration, [and] creativity and digital literacy.” Therefore,
the teaching profession needs to be transformed in ways that will allow teachers to successfully meet their
new role of facilitating learner entry into a variety of contexts.
This colloquium will address the following questions:
1. What are the main characteristics of the interdisciplinary nature of the 21 st century classroom that
reflect the need to reshape teaching and learning?
2. What are the needs of the learner in the 21st century classroom?
3. What are the needs of the teacher in the 21st century classroom?
4. How can teachers as facilitators equip learners with the needed skills for the 21st century?
5. What are the challenges facing 21st century learners and teachers? And what are some
recommendations to help them overcome these challenges?
Each speaker will give a 5-8 minute presentation and then time will be devoted to answering the questions
of the audience.

NILETESOL SPECIAL EVENT
PANEL DISCUSSIONS
PANEL DISCUSSION (1)
“Connecting the Classroom to the Needs of the Real World.”
January 22nd Meeting Room P019 (CC) 1:00-1:45 pm
Teaching English today is all about engaging students in real-life settings in an attempt to promote their
language proficiency as well as their language skills. Learning a language is mostly about using it correctly,
fluently, and effectively. If you cannot use a language efficiently, then you cannot claim to have successfully
learned it. Accordingly, educators all over the world are keen on coming up with strategies and ways to help
students acquire the language easily and use it properly in our real, daily life. The only way to do so is to
ensure that what is being taught in the classroom actually serves the different future settings the students
are likely to get involved in: life experiences, career opportunities, and daily activities. Since bridging the
gap between language teaching and language use is not easy and since “allowing students to enter a
language arena that is usually considered native-speaker territory is not only challenging but also
motivating for the learners” (Illés & Akcan, 2017), the panelists are going to address the following
questions:
1. What aspects of the real world are of value to language users?

2. Which skills are more relevant to the students’ needs?
3. What strategies, activities, and tools could we use to link the classroom to the real world?
4. What authentic material could we use in the classroom to achieve this link?
5. Could there be a mismatch between such an approach and assessment?
6. What are the challenges that educators could face when adopting such an approach?
7. How could technology be of service to this approach?
8. How would the material cater for the needs of learners?
9. How does the teaching and learning methodology serve needs of learners?
10. How can adult learning promote self-development?

PANEL DISCUSSION (2)
January 23nrd P019 (CC) 12:00-12:45 pm
Teacher Collaboration: Meeting Challenges and Inspiring Success
Many teachers have indicated that they would like to work in an environment in which they share ideas with
and learn from one another. Collaboration in an educational setting can be defined as “teams of teachers
who work interdependently to achieve common goals — goals linked to the purpose of learning for all — for
which members are held mutually accountable” (as cited in Perez, 2015). Collaboration is an essential
means to becoming an effective teacher and can form the foundation of ongoing professional development
at any institution since it requires little in the way of outside resources or expense. In addition, research
also suggests that increased collaborative efforts by teachers can benefit educational institutions as a
whole and contribute to improved student performance (Goddard, Goddard, & Tschannen Moran, 2007).
In spite of the cited benefits and willingness to collaborate on the part of many teachers, a number of
constraints may impede efforts to establish a culture of collaboration at any institution, including lack of
attention given to it by the administration, lack of time available to teachers to engage in collaborative
efforts, lack of infrastructure or established systems for systematically sharing ideas and materials, and lack
of awareness of its benefits.
In this session, panelists will explore what teacher collaboration means, share their own experiences in
developing a more collaborative work environment as well as challenges they have encountered in the
process, and discuss considerations for implementing a program of teacher collaboration.
Questions:
1. What does teacher collaboration entail?
2. What are some practical examples from your experience?
3. How can a culture of teacher collaboration be established?
4. What are some challenges and considerations in implementing collaboration efforts?

NILETESOL LIGHTENING TALKS EVENT
January 23rd Meeting Room P022 (CC) 10:00-11:45 am
What is a Lightening Talk?
A lightening talk session is when short 20-minute presentations are given one after another by presenters
who illustrate their ideas or research. A brief Power Point accompanies each talk. Several presentations
happen sequentially in the same room with the audience hearing one presentation at a time. At the end of
the presentations, a brief period for questions is given. This type of session gives the audience a chance
to attend multiple presentations.
This event is moderated by Afaf Mishriki.
Presentations
Manal El-Kalay Action Research: Encouraging Effective Teaching Practice
In any professional setting, it is essential for an individual to attend conferences, workshops, seminars
etc. in order to ensure that both academic and practical qualifications do not become outdated or
obsolete. This allows individuals to remain updated in their field and helps them to focus on becoming
more competent and effective in their professional careers. In an educational setting, however,
maintenance of quality teaching is spurred by continued reflection and the search for solutions to
everyday problems or by looking for ways to improve instruction and increase student achievement. This
is the function of action research; it helps educators become more effective at what they care most about
— their teaching and the development of their students, as it assists the educator in refining or improving
their actions or teaching practice. The presentation will take a brief look at action research and how it
can influence a teacher’s decisions regarding his/her teaching methodology and how it can be
implemented in any teaching situation.
Natalie Trangmar Learning to learn - metacognitive strategies for adult students
Learner autonomy has been a popular concept in teaching since the late 1980s. Nevertheless, students
are frequently not given enough training to allow them to reflect upon their own studies and apply
metacognitive strategies to their language learning. This is despite the fact that self-directed learning
results in increased learner engagement, greater academic achievement and reduced teacher planning
time. This session will consider the strategies of the mythical 'good language learner', especially when it
comes to planning for learning, thinking about learning (and how to make it effective), self-monitoring
and self-evaluation. Currently these strategies, if applied at all, are considered only at the start and end
of courses; a technique which itself encourages reliance on the teacher/course book structure. The
session will look at:- the research into learner strategies and autonomous learning- how to encourage
learners to assume more responsibility for their learning- practical exercises to allow learners to reflect
upon their progress throughout a course- a variety of techniques to help students think about how to
exploit material in the world outside the classroom . By the end of the session teachers will be able to
help students develop effective metacognitive strategies for learning, and take on the role of coach by
11
suggesting a range of strategies and helping students choose which ones work for them.
Jamila Zghal Apply innovative methodologies to reflect on students’ motivation

and learning
“The development of ELT, which has gradually increased in the past half century, is motivated by a
number of factors which make English currently the privileged choice for second language learners”
(Maybin and Swann, 2010, p. 169).In recent years, ELT has witnessed a noticeable development in
worldwide educational systems. English has become highly dynamic and changing due to globalization,
changes in social, cultural and economic contexts that have revolutionized the fields of teaching and
learning. Accordingly, English tends to progressively have the ‘lion’s share’ in the educational system.
For this, teachers have thought of revising the conventional ways, methods, curricula and resources and
reflected on more effective methodologies and digital instructional tools to enhance and motivate English
language learning. In this framework, a diversification of techniques has been implemented to cope up
with progress, facilitate learning, explore the students’ English language skills and answer their learning
needs. Importantly, making use of the advent of technology along with well-prepared course designs and
good class management are crucial clues of input that affect the output of student-centered motivation
and collaborative learning. These innovations in ELT would explore students’ key competencies so as to
reach excellence and visibility; more importantly, students are empowered to stand future challenges
and advance professionalism at labor market once graduated.
Hedy M. Said Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation to Enhance Young Learners

Learning
Children start their new school year raring to go, but as school days go by their willingness to participate
in the learning process starts to diminish. Teachers of all ages then start to wonder and worry about what
is it about their own classroom(s) that is causing young learners’ motivation to die out over time, and
what can they do to keep motivating all their students throughout the year(s). We might now need to
approach a thorny problem that we, teachers or educators, might not really know much about motivation,
and if there are different forms of motivation just like there are different styles of learning and teaching.
Through this session, attendees will first be introduced to two distinct types of motivation identified by
educational psychologists and cognitive scientists: intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Second, attendees
will understand the core difference between these two types of motivation, and determine the pros and
cons of each of them. Last, they will also identify which type of motivation is best for enhancing the
quality of learning in their classrooms, and determine multiple ways to cultivate and foster set type of
motivation. Motivation is very important for enhancing performance in general. Knowing how to motivate
your students will make you a great influencer, as you will be directly contributing to and improving the
quality of their learning, and ultimately the quality of your teaching.

NILETESOL 20 X 20 EVENT
January 22nd Waleed P071 11:00-1:15 am
What is a 20X20 Event?
This is an event where speedy presentations are given by professionals in the field of education to
encourage innovative professional development ideas. Presenters will be given seven minutes to speak on
a subject accompanied by 20 auto-advancing slides. Each slide is displayed for 20 seconds.
This event will be moderated by Dr. Muhammed Khalil.
Session: 1 Practical Ideas to Promote Learner Autonomy in Language
Mr. Zakaria Mahmoud Classes
With the help of some digital tools, students can plan and monitor their own learning, practice language
inside and outside classroom, locate and exploit materials and reflect on their own strengths and
weaknesses. This talk aims to provide teachers with a range of practical ideas that can be used in the
classroom to help students take an active role in their own learning.
Session: 2 Labor Market Needs and University Translation Programs in

Dr. Montasser Mahmoud Saudi Arabia; Challenges and Realities
It is a presentation depicting challenges and realities of Saudi Universities in regard to requirements set
by labor market there.
Session: 3
Task-based Language Learning (An Experimental Lesson)
Dr. Samah Sayed
Task based language learning approach (TBL) has been constantly stimulating for me to experiment with
in my classes. This presentation is an overview of this approach and provides a rationale for a lesson
plan for intermediates, based on performing a writing task. E-tools like Type form will be implemented to
gauge their effectiveness in optimizing learners' overall performance.
Session: 4
Young Learners and Mind Mapping
Mrs Omnia Alrobaa
When your child ‘learns’ to mind map, they will get the gift of making school work or any other type of
information much more accessible. They will remember it much better because it uses the same kind of
methods they use subconsciously. Learning becomes fun (as it was when they were really, really
young). They will associate learning with fun, playing, joy, etc. This will help them a lot in their studies.
Session: 5 Cognitive Apprenticeship (CA) in TEFL: Investigating

Dr. Hager al-Tonsi Teachers’ Attitudes
The new educational system in Egypt aims to offer students deep understanding of different themes. The
use of themes instead of units achieves depth in students’ learning and paves the way for the CA
application. Results of this research revealed that EFL teachers had positive attitudes towards CA.
13
Nile TESOL Poster Session
January 22 CP 01 Jameel 11:00-11:45 a.m
What is a poster session?
A poster session is your allotted time to share with your audience the summary of your conference-related
work as exemplified in your poster. The poster can combine text, images and graphs that show your work
in a logical, accessible and creative way. It should clearly explain the rationale for the choice of topic, the
steps involved in completing your research and the value of your work to the field. In a poster session, it is
expected that you give a short presentation of your work every 10 or 15 minutes, and attendees can ask
questions and share comments and feedback with you.

The Play’s the Thing
Nick Bilbrough Teacher of drama and story-telling in second

language learning
Scripted plays have been used to teach English to second language learners since before the time of
Shakespeare. In this plenary, I will reflect on my experiences of language learning through drama from the
perspective of both the learner and the teacher. l will also explore how simple plays are being used with
children in refugee camps in Gaza as a tool for empowerment, and as a way to bring their English to life.
From this talk, I will propose a rationale for the performance and creation of plays as a core component
within a modern lexical (Lewis 1993) or play-based (Cook 2000) syllabus.

Did Curiosity Really Kill the Cat? A Deeper View on inquiry-Based Learning
Aala’ Abdelfadeel Senior Education Consultant, Macmillan Education

Egypt.
BA in English literature from the Faculty of Al-Alsun
Being able to communicate across different cultures and perspectives in today’s complex world is, in
essence, the purpose of an English language classroom. With the growing tendency for the
Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach and Task-Based Instructions (TBI) as teaching
methods, placing students’ questions, ideas and observations at the heart of the learning experience is of
an equal importance. In most of our ESL classroom settings, students are merely receivers of information.
For various reasons, they do not get to develop their innate curious nature to boost their natural language
acquisition process. However, instead of being passive learners, inquiry-based language learning allows
students to be actively engaged in a cognitive and meaningful learning experience that prepares them for
life beyond the classroom. In this presentation, I will discuss the nuts and bolts of inquiry-based language
learning and how to implement it in our classrooms. I will also discuss the roles of both the educator and
the learner.

Reading In and Out of Classrooms; Only Reading Circles Can Do That!
Samah Mahmoud & Teacher Trainer and Curriculum Developer
Muhammad Abdo English Language Instructor, Al-Azhar University

Reading in L2 is not only a means of learning the language and acquiring some skills, but also a path for
the students’ personal development. Unfortunately, the reading experience in any educational institution
does not encourage independent reading as the materials for reading are preset and usually are from the
classics. The Reading Circles create an authentic and interesting reading experience for students as
everything is up to them in these circles with a minimal interference from the teacher. Reading Circles are
one of the best ways to produce avid readers who will read for their own pleasure outside any educational
institution.

English Language Instructor and Assessment

Mostafa Youssef Mahmoud
Consultant
Assessment is de facto integrated with the processes of teaching and learning; aspiringly composing
an integral educational mechanism. The presentation will focus on developing a solid understanding
of language assessment, through recognizing its composition, cycle and what quality criteria it
comprises, that would help teachers better monitor the learners’ performance, scrupulously trace
their achievement of the Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) and well interpret the learners’ test
results. Through understanding the dynamics of assessment, teachers can modify or rather rationally
adapt their teaching as well as make decisions according to deductions drawn from the
assessment(s) devised. Being conscious about how this assessment operation should run would
empower both teachers and learners better accomplish from the teaching/learning process.
