Today, I would like to talk about my experience concerning (2019 ELATE summer conference). I attended the session conference of Friday and Saturday. For Friday, I attended the session of " designing for discomfort: curriculum development as advocacy work". This session was really useful for me because it's related to project that I am working on. The topic dealt with many aspects of curriculum and discomfort and how these aspects can affect students' learning processes. Thus I find the session very interesting as well as engaging for that I tried to understand all components of the session to apply them in my project. Another thing is that the session includes many researchers from different states around US and that gave me the chance to get involved in discussions about teaching English as a foreign language and the most updated methods of teaching English. The other interesting session that I attended was under the title of " Talk, Texts, and Tweets: using discourse analysis to teach grammatical awareness". For this session there were also many researchers from around US that gave another chance to be acquainted about using grammatical cues in both formal and informal writing. So I found the session very effective in which I can apply it on my students in Iraq for the writing skill.

It is really fortunate that this conference is going on while you are here. I really enjoy conferences such as TESOL. It is great being around people who engage in the same profession and who have a wealth of ideas to share. I always come away from a conference felling energetic and with renewed vigor for my work.
