Meeting Description:

This year’s conference brings together TESOL practitioners to share
effective and/or innovative classroom practice and how it is informed
by research into Language Acquisition or other TESOL areas. By doing
this, we hope to create connections within our community, enriching
our understanding and experiences of English language teaching.

What are we doing? What are we doing well? Why? What does our good
practice have to say to and for theory? And how do we use theory to
help us understand and push our practice forward? In a world where our
professional lives are so busy, this event will be a space for us to
consider these questions together and take away practical suggestions.

Key themes

In this conference, then, we welcome presentations, workshops or
posters which address the following broad themes:
- Course design (e.g. materials writing, collaborative planning,
co-constructed curriculum).
- Approaches to active learning (e.g. participatory pedagogies,
problem-based learning).
- Teaching strategies (e.g. genre-based approaches to texts,
developing oracy skills).
- Inclusion and accessibility (e.g. providing for complex needs,
approaches to differentiation).
- Integrated assessment (e.g. giving effective feedback, process-based
approaches).
- Developing 21st century skills (e.g. sustainability, employability,
digital literacies).
- Digital pedagogies (e.g. making use of technologies, online / hybrid
teaching).
- Linguistic and culturally responsive teaching (e.g. multilingual
classrooms, decolonisation).
- Approaches to research in education (e.g. exploratory practice,
action research).

What to expect:

The 2023 NATESOL conference provides an opportunity to share practice
and meet fellow teachers in a friendly and open atmosphere. Once
again, we have chosen to hold this event online in order to welcome
people from both our local and global community. We also offer a range
of mentoring for first-time speakers or for those who might feel
unfamiliar with the online platforms.

We are particularly keen to welcome teachers who would like to share
good practice or ‘what we are doing’ as well as any practitioners who
can also share ideas about ‘why’.
