I attended the Southeast regional conference SETESOL 2017 hosted by Alabama-Mississipi TESOL in Birmingham, Alabama entitled “Transforming Lives through Languages and Cultures”. The keynote speakers included:  Stephen Krashen, Rebecca Oxford, Ofelia Garcia, Paulette Patterson Dilworth, Ester de Jong, and others. On Friday, October 6, 2017, Jinna Kim and I presented the following topic at the concurrent session: “Learning about Plagiarism and ELLs in Higher Education: an Autoethnography”.

From the SETESOl 2017 website:
The Regional SETESOL conferences are open to everyone involved with the teaching and administration of programs for English language learners in the Southeast. These conferences serve K-12 teachers, intensive language teachers on college campuses, community program teachers, administrators (K-12, college, and community), researchers, and graduate students.
