Middle East College (MEC) organized the 1st MEC TESOL Conference in 2018. I had the pleasure to be one of the organizers of this big event. I was overly impressed with all the efforts put from the beginning to the end to make this conference a great success. Indeed, the 1st MEC Conference gave me excellent opportunities to work closely with a lot of TESOL practitioners from different parts of the world. This year, I am excited to participate in the 2nd MEC TESOL Conference. I am confident that it is going to be one of the most unforgettable academic events in my entire life. I wish the conference organizers all the best. <\/p>\n
