Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.
(Benjamin Franklin)

LEARNING ENGLISH – A LIFELONG PROCESS.

Bearing the theme in mind, the organisers propose the following topics connected with foreign language teaching to be discussed at the Conference:
Current trends in language teaching and learning
Teacher development – teachers as lifelong learners
Lessons students and teachers actually like
Good practices in teaching English
ESP – English for the workplace and current events in various ESP fields
Academic English – teaching English in academic contexts
CLIL and English for subject teachers
Young learners and teenagers
English as a lingua franca – what aspects of English should we teach?
Special needs students – how to teach students with different disabilities to help them make the most of the language class
Autonomy in language learning, promoting learners’ autonomy
ELT Management
Using modern technology in teaching
Teacher’s resources and resourcefulness
Testing, evaluation and assessment

This year, we offer you a unique opportunity to share your experience during the conference, running short lessons with some students, showing the techniques you use in your ELT classes to other conference participants. We will recruit some student volunteers for this unique idea. You just need to be there with your teaching skills! We look forward to meeting you at the 21st International IATEFL Poland Conference in September in Wrocław.
