Last few places available!
We would like to warmly invite you to attend the IATEFL ES(O)L SIG Pre-Conference Event Day, which will be held on 10th April 2015, in Manchester: lunch and refreshments will be provided.
Our theme this year is
Challenges, Issues and Developments in ES(O)L Teaching and Learning
We will look at how ESOL practitioners can meet some of the challenges involved with teaching ESOL classes at different levels in community, further education and vocational classes. Furthermore, we will discuss how we can best teach the skills of Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing that migrants and refugees need. We will also look at how we as ESOL practitioners can make learning a positive educational experience for students, some of whom may never have been in an educational environment before.
Once more we will explore some of the didactic and practical issues that we face as teachers both in the UK and abroad; and the challenges that we face trying to meet the latest government requirements in ESOL provision.
There will be a mixture of short talks, seminars and workshops where we will work collaboratively with each other exploring some of the issues which most affect us and our learners.
Our speakers this year include: Tina Boon, Emily Derbyshire, Leslie Painter- Farrel, Jo Gakonga, Oya Karabetca, Yvonne Pratt- Johnson, Daniel Raynor and Martha Young Scholten
We know from past feedback how much participants have enjoyed being able to meet new colleagues from other institutions and share best practices which is why during the lunch and refreshment breaks you will have the opportunity to meet our speakers so that you can exchange your views with each other.
Join us for a thought-provoking day and the opportunity to meet fellow ESOL professionals from across the world. We look forward to welcoming you in Manchester!
