2. CALL FOR PAPERS
THE NATIONAL IETA CONFERENCE 2015
CHALLENGES OF ENGLISH TEACHERS
IN NURTURING CHARACTER BUILDING
Friday-Saturday, 27-28 March 2015
BACKGROUND
Current learning models such as competence-based, problem-
based, outcome-based, heuristic, cooperative, and
collaborative do sound different, but in fact, on the surface
only. If consistently adopted, whatever term is used it shares
the characteristics which all those terms signify. If
competence-based learning does not stop at its loose parts,
for example, the competence has to become outcome-based,
e.g. to accomplish a project or solve a problem. Only simple
problems need segregated knowledge, skills, and attitudes to
solve. Complex and more profound educational problems, on
the other hand, need an integrated competence, outcome-
based focus, discovery, cooperation, and collaboration to bear
meaningful solutions.
This postmodern society of ours requires even more
collaborative solutions, rather than competition, for the
promotion of self-actualization, for higher excellence in one’s
own right, personal and social, empirical and transcendental.
Collaboration rather than competition allows every educator,
inclusive teacher, and every group of educators to take a role
befitted to one’s own conditions.
Indonesian English Teachers’ Association (IETA) serves for such
a purpose. A national-level collaboration allows every
provincial-, district- and school-group, and individual teacher
and educator to see better what role they can play and the
nature of self-excellence they are capable of growing to. At
the regional level, 2015 is to coincide with the Asia Economic
Community (MEA). With APEC and WTO to follow suit,
eventually every educator, even group of educators is, in
one way or rather, to become a collaborative member of
global society.
This conference is naturally, a venue to promote teacher
professionalism by way of seminars and other activities. IETA
Conference of 2015 is special in that it also will elect its new
association board. It is therefore, earnestly appealed that all
English teachers in Indonesia send representatives. The new
IETA Board is to set strategic agenda for four years ahead to
contribute most optimally in helping the students and
ourselves alike to grow excellent in one’s own right,
personally and socially, empirically and transcendently.
OBJECTIVES
The conference aims:
1. To elect personnel of IETA board 2015 - 2019
2. To design IETA general agenda
