It is with great pleasure that I invite all of you to attend the 2007 KATE International Conference. This conference will focus on "Embracing Diversities and Pursuing Professional Integrity in TEFL", and will take place at Gyeongin National University of Education (Gyeonggi Campus,Anyang ) on July 6th and 7th, 2007.
