Date Posted: 07:59:45 08/26/10 Thu In part three of Unit three we should become familiar with one of the keynote speakers of the conference we will write a simulated proposal for. We are supposed to try to find out more information about this person on the Internet? Where does this person work? Why is her or his work significant to the academic community the conference is targeting? In case of choosing the article I suggested, a good Keynote speaker could be Rod Ellis.So I found some information about him. What do you think about it?
