The conference will engage with the politics, principles and practices
of ESOL and the place of language and learning in the lives of teachers,
learners, and society as a whole.
Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, journalist,
broadcaster, author of ‘Who do we think we are? Imagining the new Britain’
(2000), and advocate of social justice for migrants and their families is our
keynote speaker on Friday.
Saturday offers a very wide range of workshops on themes ranging from
the place of politics in teaching, to the place of pronunciation in every
lesson. New for this conference is a series of mini-workshops for first-time
presenters; we also invite back popular leaders and topics and introduce new
faces and new ideas.
NATECLA is pleased to collaborate with the IATEFL
Pronunciation special interest group to bring three workshops facilitated by
well-known names in English Pronunciation.
On Sunday morning at NATECLA Question Time a panel of influential
voices chaired by Helen Casey of NRDC will offer their views and answer your
questions on language, education and migration in the UK and across the world.
Join the debate by contributing your questions during the conference and your
views at the Sunday Question Time.
