workshop
Nadia Sintotskaya
This talk will explain the use of a student’s self-reflection assignment as a diagnostic tool for ELT which showcases relations between students’ performance and their self-reported emotional state. Furthermore, it is suggested that gender and intercultural background affect students’ emotional experience. The research outcomes thus provide new insights into English language teaching and learning.
Katherine Halet
This research-oriented presentation will discuss the literature and methodology relevant to the study that has been conducted for my PhD thesis. This study focuses on undergraduate second language teacher educators in Argentina and how their emotions as teachers impact their pedagogical decisions. Additionally, this presentation will outline the findings that have been uncovered based on my research.
Sian Etherington
This interactive workshop aims to provide a space where EFL classroom researchers from any context and at all levels of experience can meet to discuss research ideas, concerns and challenges, moving towards collaborative resolutions to shared questions and dilemmas. We ask that delegates arrive at the workshop ready to discuss one challenge or question arising from their research.
Daniel Xerri
This talk reports on findings from an investigation into the support that teachers require for them to develop their research literacy. It highlights the views of teacher educators, teacher association leaders, and academics working in a broad range of international contexts. Implications and recommendations for those supporting teacher-researchers are discussed.
Marina Bendtsen
This talk explores the use of small-scale action research projects as a learning tool in initial teacher education. In light of the experiences of a group of prospective language teachers, the benefits and challenges of using action research as a tool for promoting early professional development will be presented and discussed.
Chris Farrell
This talk will focus the practicalities of supporting cross-institutional cooperation in the realm of classroom research. It will draw on my experience in establishing and running the Irish Research Scheme for Teaching in order to provide some practical and transferable advice on the creation and maintenance of a mechanism for sharing ideas and evidence from classroom research.
Nicola Perry
If we wish to research our language classrooms, we need to start with a good question. Whether it is an action research project, a dissertation or a critical inquiry into our own practice, a good clear question will guide and support our research design and ensure our project is purposeful, focused and ultimately effectively.
