Sharing scientific knowledge with all the stakeholders of foreign language teaching is as important as producing it in a systematic way. Besides, sharing effective practices in English language teaching is also as essential as publishing the theoretical findings of the relevant research in the field. Therefore, scientific events such as symposiums in the present context play a crucial role in unearthing the strengths and weaknesses in educational practices in any participating institution. Among the rare attempts and the first one in the Aegean Region of Turkey, the present symposium brought together a dozen universities sharing a number of standard features but implementing different practices for the same or considerably similar learning outcomes. The concurrent sessions held during the symposium cast light on the good practices in various schools of foreign languages offering English language preparatory programs. Topics such as quality assurance and accreditation, assessment and evaluation, curriculum development, leadership and management, professional development, and administrative issues were among the topics visited during the concurrent sessions. In brief, it was concluded that each institution had instances of best English language teaching practices while all had much to learn from others and put into practice for further development.
