Some “ifs” around EdTech in ELT. Are myths around EdTech hurting us? Increasing blame on the teacher for not adapting to new tech that may actually be inappropriate. Is this the beginning of a “tech-lash”? #IATEFL2019 @Bell_English

A teacher is “a guide on the side, not a sage on the stage” says Johnny Day. But the process is gradual and you may need to establish trust by being a sage at the beginning of your course. #IATEFL2019 @Bell_English

Use an “interruption checklist” for nervous learners to record and build their ability to ‘interrupt’ and therefore take part more fully in classes, says Johnny Day from The London School of English. #IATEFL2019 @Bell_English

Richard Cauldwell: you can teach listening at any point in a lesson through focus on the “sound substance” (a parallel dimension to the “sight substance” of written language) #IATEFL2019 @Bell_English

#Iatefl2019 Cauldwell shows us how to wade through treacle and use a monotone. The rules of connected speech are like a courtship - all you'e allowed to do is touch hands. It's very polite, but doesn't take us to the jungle.

Final tip: earworms that students can't get out of their head. I like this idea and always forget to use them in class - maybe this will be the year I remember to do it consistently! #Iatefl2019 Cauldwell has examples on his blog speechinaction.org 'where there were'

Most educational innovations, contrary to what they claim, do not allow for self-development and “perpetuate the ‘I say-you follow’ superior-inferior relationship between policy makers and teachers." (Rebolledo, 2013) So there!

As schools become linguistically & culturally diverse, it makes sense to ensure that teaching staff are adequately prepared. We look at CPD to enable teaching staff to work effectively in diverse multilingual classrooms: bit.ly/2JbGKOZ
