NATESOL’s 40th Anniversary of Classroom Research and Practice in
English Language Provision
Saturday 11th May 2024
Online via Zoom
Confirmed Plenary Speakers - Dr Melanie Cooke (Kings College London) &
Mike Beaumont (Founding Chair of NATESOL)
For the last 40 years, throughout the many turning points and
developments of language teaching, NATESOL has been a space for
teachers and researchers to share and develop their practice. We have
always regarded Action / Classroom Research as a key component of
this.
So, for our 40th anniversary annual conference, we invite speakers who
have implemented and investigated an innovative approach to teaching
and learning within key themes of English language teaching (listed
below). The conference will also include a panel survey/discussion of
the development of TESOL and its main developments over the life of
the Association.
This is an online conference so we welcome speakers from across the
globe and across the field of English language teaching including
ESOL, EAL / ELL, EFL and EAP.
In a world where our professional lives are so busy, this event will
be a space for us to consider what developments have occurred in the
last 40 years and also hear from current, active teacher/researchers
so that we can take away some practical suggestions for our own
teaching.
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).
