The 2018 EDU, ELT/ELL and EDTECH Conference Calendar for Canım Türkiyem…Ver 4.5
I'm guessing this will be the last version of the calendar...for this year! Unless there is a mad rush of last minute calls for papers - but I really doubt if we have the dates.
So, here we go...with a fair few additions...this time around, too!
