A reminder that the NATECLA day conference

'What is effective practice' -
 
is being held on Friday 16 November 2007
College of North East London , High Road, London, N15 4RU
 
This year’s London one-day conference focuses on putting research into practice.  It offers ESOL teachers the chance to find out more about recent research and engage in the debate around What is effective practice?
 
Both of our morning speakers are very well-known and respected in ESOL, and have made excellent contributions to previous NATECLA conferences.
 
Celia Roberts, Senior Research Fellow at Kings College, London, speaks about the 2003- 2006 NRDC research on classroom learning in ESOL.
and
Helen Sunderland, Head of ESOL Division, Assistant Director, LLU+, London South Bank University, opens up a discussion about best practice, challenging some of the current notions.
 
The speakers welcome questions and a chance engage in dialogue on the implications for classroom practice.
 
A choice of three workshops in the morning, repeated in the afternoon, provide a chance to engage further with issues of current interest and concern to ESOL teachers:
Melanie Cooke, ESOL researcher and teacher at Kings College, London. John Sutter, Senior Lecturer at LLU+ specialising in ESOL teacher education and Paul Seligson, international ESOL teacher and teacher trainer, offer thought-provoking and practical sessions.
 
NATECLA conferences offer an excellent opportunity to network, to discuss burning issues and to get involved. There will be a chance to hear the latest on the ESOL campaign and other NATECLA activity.
 
Held in North London, the conference is easily accessible by public transport and by road, bookings are welcomed from both Londoners and from those further afield.
