British Council, IATEFL Polska and Studium Języków Obcych Politechniki Warszawskiej would like to invite teachers of English to our ‘Harrogate Snapshots’ conference.
At the conference we will present ‘snapshots’ from this year’s Annual International IATEFL Conference in Harrogate, which took place on 7-11 April. Thanks to the cooperation between IATEFL and the British Council, the participants were not limited to only those fortunate enough to visit Harrogate, as teachers of English around the world were able to join the conference online.
At ‘Harrogate Snapshots’ we will present the best session from Harrogate and explore how the online conference materials can be exploited by teachers and trainers.
The conference participants will also be able to familiarise themselves with the offer of ELT publishers.
If you have any questions about the conference, please send an e-mail to Marta Koziej at martakzj@gmail.com

There were conference highlights, as always, but also a sense that they weren't just being enjoyed by those of us lucky enough to be in Harrogate. A combination of online social networks, live interviews and recorded sessions on the Harrogate Online site allowed more teachers than ever around the world to participate. Rob will look at how opportunities for teacher networking and access to resources have dramatically increased in recent years, and how this can be exploited by teachers and trainers, with specific reference to the Harrogate Online site. |
