A great talk by Polina Kordik who is researching the role of self-efficacy beliefs in promoting or hindering conceptual change in teacher education over time. How much self-efficacy is too much or not enough for learning? Original, important and exciting work. #IAPLL #PLL5

A lovely talk about the experiences of assistant teachers in Spain and the motivational challenges they face by Sergio Adrada-Rafael and how people can be prepared for the stay abroad - interesting research and valuable practical implications. #IAPLL #PLL5

Closing plenary. The utterly brilliant Peter MacIntyre. Discussing WTC to illustrate some of the changes and trends in the field of PLL - here focusing on timescales. I have the deepest respect for his academic brilliance and wonderful humility and kindness. #IAPLL #PLL5

So, another wonderful PLL conference comes to an end and what a brilliant experience. Huge thanks to Imelda and to the amazing Team Graz (below but missing Hassan in the picture!) - so proud and happy to work with you all. Wishing everyone safe travels home.
