For the first time since it was last held in Harrogate (2010), I didn’t
go to the annual IATEFL conference this year and - like thousands of other English
teachers who couldn’t afford to go to the largest EFL conference in the world -
settled in comfortably in front of my computer to watch it online. All plenary
talks and selected presentations are streamed live on the
IATEFL online website thanks to the partnership between IATEFL and the British Council. I was
particularly looking forward to the talks by Prof Michael Hoey on 4 April (
"Old
approaches, new perspectives" - click
HERE to watch the recording) and Prof Sugata Mitra on 5 April (
"The future
of learning"- click
HERE for the recording) and highly recommended them to all my students (teacher
candidates).
