ReSIG Event
IATEFL Conference Brighton 2018
At the 2018 IATEFL Conference in Brighton, the ReSIG Will organize two main events: a Joint Pre-conference event (PCE) with LASIG on April 9th, 2018 and a Showcase Day on April 9th, 2018. Please see the programme and abstracts of both events below.
ReSIG and LASIG Pre-conference event (PCE)
'Learner Autonomy and Practitioner Research'
9 April 2018, Brighton, UK
At the 2018 IATEFL Conference in Brighton, ReSIG and LASIG will be organizing a joint pre-conference event. The call for presentations is open until 16 October 2017.
Language learner autonomy has been and remains a key concept in ELT. However, there is a lack of classroom-based research into learner autonomy in practice. In this PCE, we will bring together two SIGs with a joint interest in precisely these two topics: The Learner Autonomy SIG and the Research SIG. Phil Benson, Macquarie University, Australia and Judith Hanks, University of Leeds, UK, will be our keynote speakers. Phil will start the day, with a discussion of spaces for autonomy inside and outside the classroom. Following his talk, a number of interactive poster presentations by teachers/researchers will provide us with further food for thought. After lunch, Judith will focus on learners and teachers as co-researchers, integrating research and pedagogy. Phil and Judith will then together invite questions and comments from the audience as well as initiating discussions in the group. At the end of the day poster presenters will report back on the feedback that they received during their presentations. There will be ample time for participants to discuss projects and establish networks before the day ends at 17.00. We hope that you, as an EFL teacher/ practitioner researcher, will be prepared to share your own experiences and insights into the topic of the day. We shall be looking forward to welcoming you in Brighton 2018 for an enriching day.
