Post-11-IATEFL-Conference-Liverpool
Dear All,
Watch the session you have chosen and watch several excerpts from it to get an idea about its content. The sessions are from 30 min to an hour, so I do not expect you to watch the whole session unless you really feel like doing it.
Today
you will have a chance to get acquainted with some materials of the
IATEFL conference that took place in Liverpool last week.
IATEFL is a large international organisation for teachers of English as a foreign language (IATEFL). Each year it holds a conference devoted to the discussion of a large variety of issues associated with language learning and teaching. I have been a member of IATEFL since 2008 and taken part in several conferences throughout these years. Also, I was the editor of the newsletter published by the LT SIG. It stands for Learning Technologies Special Interest Group, and this is a way in which IATEFL members are grouped. You can learn more about it at https://www.iatefl.org/special-interest-groups/sig-list

First,
I'm inviting you to watch the clip made during the first day of the
conference, which can help you feel the atmosphere and the mood of it: https://conference.iatefl.org/conference.html.
Next,
I'm inviting you to browse through the sessions of the conference to
get an idea about what teachers around the world are doing to make their
teaching more engaging and effective. Your task is to read the
materials of the chosen session, watch some of the session recordings
and share the information you will have learned with your peers.
Here is a link to the conference sessions that were presented yesterday:

Please, include the following information in your post:
1. Name of the presenter
2. Session title (with a link to it)
3. Something interesting you have learned from the session with a brief explanation of why you have chosen a particular session
4. Having read about/watched the session, what else would you like to learn about its topic?
5. Your general impression of your experience.
Also, have a look through the activities of one of the SIGs to get more information about their activities.
Here is a link to the LT SIG activities: https://ltsig.iatefl.org/
Here is too to the activities of Global Issues SIG: http://gisig.iatefl.org/
Here is a Collection of Conference Materials prepared by the BESIG (Business English SIG) https://besig.iatefl.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IATEFL-BESIG-Conference-Collection-2012-2017.pdf
I've selected these 3 because they are of personal interest to me. You can look through one of them or look through the materials available from some other SIG. One restriction though is that some of the materials are in the Membership Only Zone, which means you can only access this content if you are a member.
Your task is similar: get acquainted with one of the materials available and prepare its summary (300 words long). Share it with us and also answer the question of what else would you like to learn about the topic you read about or watched.

ReplyDeleteArina, the link you have provided above is incorrect, so I accessed your blog and copied the address of your post to compare it with the one above. Here it is
Deletehttp://zarkovarina.blogspot.com/2019/04/dear-all-recently-ive-watched-video.html#more. I checked that it takes you to your post. So, let's check the next time what you do to provide the links to the resources you have used or referred to in your posts.
Dear All,
ReplyDeletethanks for completing the task and sharing the link to your post. I'll certainly read them at home and commente on what you have written. What you need to do is read smb else's report and consider it from the point of view of how detailed it is, Are there enough details or some more should be added? In the latter case add a question about it.
Also, I'll share a new task with you shortly, which I'd ask you to do for the next week as well.
Thanks for your involvement in completing today's task. I hope you have learned smth useful from it.
