Substitution  

Overview

Substitution is an additional form of research culminating in a degree, and it aims to encourage IGSEans’ academic and professional activities. Instead of writing a thesis or project, students can 1) publish a book (ELT teaching/learning materials, theory books, etc.), 2) make two academic presentations at an ELT conference, 3) publish an academic paper in a reviewed journal, 4) develop a curriculum and run the program at an institute, or 5) create and run an ELT website or launch a smart-phone application.  

Types                

 ▶ Article Publication

 If a student gets to publish an ELT related article in one of the KCI/SSCI/A&HCI  journals, they can be substituted from Thesis/Project writing.

☆    Examples

    - The impact of cognitive style on errors in English writing through extensive reading: A case study (English Teaching 2014, 69 (2))

                                               
▶ Conference Presentation

 It requires two presentations at academic conferences to be substituted. The students can present either a paper or poster - though the poster presentation counts only once.

☆    Examples

       - The impact of ELT testing on EFL teaching practices in South Korea
       - Developing a guidebook to run an English UCC club

           
▶ ELT Materials Publication

 Students can publish ELT materials at a commercial publisher, and get a substitution.
