- Individual Papers: Papers are formal presentations on original and complete research within a 30 minute period, including 5 to 10 minutes for discussion.
- Panel Discussion: A panel is formed by 3 or 4 scholars centering their discussion on a particular topic within 90 minutes. The panel organizer should submit an abstract delineating the theme of the panel, including each panelist’s statement explaining his/her standpoints.
- Workshops: Workshops give opportunities for demonstrations of teaching or use of materials in a 45 minute timeframe. The audience is expected to be actively involved. The abstract should include the purpose of the demonstration and the tasks to be performed.
