‘Classroom-based research for professional development’ EVO, Jan-Feb 2018
With a focus on teacher-research to address difficult teaching situations, a TESOL Electronic Village Online (EVO) on 'Classroom-based research for professional development' is live again in January–February 2018. The EVO provides a hands-on introduction to inquiry-based teacher development, especially (though not exclusively) for teachers working in difficult circumstances (large classes, low-resource classrooms, etc.).

Scott Thornbury Webinar
16 December 3pm GMT (4pm CET)
Writing methodology texts: a bridge too far?
Teachers teach and researchers research and there is (arguably) not enough communication between them. In order to bridge the divide, there are books that interpret research findings and extrapolate principles and practices in such a way that they are both relevant and accessible to practising teachers. How do they do this? How, for example, do they determine what is relevant, and how do they re-present research in way that is balanced, accurate and intelligible? I surveyed some leading methodology writers in order to answer these questions. In this webinar I’ll share their responses, and I will invite you to respond, in turn, and to discuss the implications from the researcher perspective. Webinar room. |

Joint ReSIG YLTSIG webinar by Sandie Mourão
26 November 2017, 16.00 CET
Research in the primary English classroom: Collecting informed consent from children
Classroom based research in primary English education is specific in its context for a number of reasons, one of which relates to obtaining informed consent. There is a requirement that consent be sought from the child following the social ethics of research together with a respect for the rights of the child. This webinar presents a small study which reflects on the experiences of a group of MA students in Portugal involved in action research projects in primary English education. I outline the challenges they faced obtaining informed consent from children in their studies and show how they overcame these. I will suggest that in the world of ELT this is an area of research which needs rather more attention than we are giving it. Webinar room. |

Children working as co-researchers and researchers – possibilities and challenges
In this webinar first of all I will be sharing my experiences of working with primary English teachers in India who tried to engage their learners as co-researchers in their classrooms. I will share some practical examples of tasks and activities that have worked well in these classrooms as well as the teachers' and the children’s reflections about their experiences. Then I will also reflect on my experiences of working with children as researchers. In this study children worked on a questionnaire survey exploring topics of their own interest. I will discuss both benefits and challenges of engaging children as co-researchers and researchers in English language classrooms. |

Using Questionnaires in Research into Emotions in ELT
Christina Gkonou
26 January 2017, 17.00 UK time
Emotions are omnipresent in our daily lives, and teaching and learning are no exception. Two key characteristics of emotions are their highly subjective nature and their interaction with and mediation by learners’ and teachers’ diverse contexts. These features pose certain challenges to researchers of emotions generally and also within ELT specifically. Narratives in the form of diaries/journals and interviews have often been the most widely employed tools for collecting data on learners’ and teachers’ emotions. In this webinar, I will focus on scenario-based questionnaires and their use in research into emotions. I will describe an emotion-regulation questionnaire which we developed for foreign/second language learners and highlight the need for designing questionnaires which are contextualised and describe specific classroom situations.

Macedonian EFL teachers on continuing professional development: What does their discourse tell us?
Elena Ončevska Ager and Mark Wyatt
23rd November 2016, 17.00 GMT
In this webinar we will discuss our forthcoming article Teachers’ cognitions regarding continuing professional development (CPD), which drew on data from Macedonian EFL contexts. Our study looked into what Macedonian teachers had to say about CPD, and also how they said it, specifically focusing on emergent CPD metaphors and the linguistic devices employed in the teachers’ discourse. We found that the teachers' conceptualisations of CPD were only partially aligned with essentially top-down government policy and recommend a focus on teacher-driven, bottom-up approaches to CPD, such as reflective practice and teacher research in this context.

Creating Space: Research into Practice, Practice into Research
Jane Spiro, Oxford Brookes University
8th June 2016 at 17.00 BST
This webinar will ask questions about ‘creativity’ in language learning: what it means, why it matters, how are research and practice connected? Are other terms more useful to explain this? It will draw together research from multiple fields such as education, psychology and the humanities, second language acquisition and TESOL to explore what teaching might learn from creativity research, and vice versa. The participants will be engaged during the session in mini-research enquiries which they can take further into their own classrooms and with their own colleagues, answering the question: what does a ‘creative’ classroom really look like, and why does it matter?

Learning from the Past: Researching ELT History
Webinar by Richard Smith — 25 January 2016, 17.00 GMT
In this webinar Richard introduced some of the whys, whats and hows of doing historical ELT research. He shared some of the insights gained from his own research into the last 150 years of teaching English as a foreign language and focused on how he has been doing the research – historical research methods, in other words. He also shared some ideas for topics and areas he thinks it would be very valuable for there to be more historical research in – in the hope some participants at least would be inspired to give it a go themselves.
Richard Smith is a Reader in ELT & Applied Linguistics at the University of Warwick, where he teaches and supervises MA and PhD students. He founded the Warwick ELT Archive in 2002 and has published widely in the field of history of language learning and teaching, besides other areas. His recent articles include ‘Building applied linguistic historiography’ (Applied Linguistics) and, with A.P.R. Howatt, ‘The history of teaching English as a foreign language, from a British and European perspective’ (Language and History). He was the coordinator of IATEFL Research SIG from 2011 to 2015 and he is currently working on a history of IATEFL with Shelagh Rixon.
The seminar is now over. Powerpoint slides are here. A recording of the webinar is also now available.

Pre-primary children, play and language learning - Sandie Mourão
Joint webinar with YLT SIG - Sunday 6 December at 18.00 GMT
This webinar begins by looking at the issues of quality related to teaching English to pre-primary children. I will discuss the ideal profile for pre-primary language teacher(s) as well as typical and ideal approaches used with this age group. However the focus of my talk will be around an integrated approach to pre-primary language learning, which values play and collaboration between teachers and parents. You won't necessarily leave with a Monday morning idea, but you will certainly be left reconsidering how you go about setting up, planning and giving your English lessons to children between 3 and 6 years old. Access the webinar recording here. Sandie Mourão (PhD) is a visiting professor at Universidade Nova Lisbon, Portugal, as well as a freelance teacher educator, author and educational consultant, specializing in early years language learning. She has experience of working with all age groups and their teachers, but her main focus is pre-primary (ages 3 - 6 years). Sandie has authored a number of language learning courses and resource books and is the co-author of the guidelines for primary English education in Portugal, the co-editor 'Early years second language education: international Perspectives on theories and practice' (2015), published by Routledge and co-editor of the open access e-journal CLELEjournal - http://clelejournal.org/. She is a regular contributor to edited volumes, journals and magazines related to ELT and children’s literature.

Troubling Research: Rethinking the Construct
‘Research’ has been defined in various ways. However, most definitions encompass the notion that it is a systematic process of inquiry involving the formulation of researchable questions, the collection of data that have relevant bearing on those questions, the analysis and interpretation of those data, and the publication of the results. In this presentation, I want to ‘trouble’ the traditional concept of research. I will argue that, while it may fit the psychometric paradigm, when it comes to naturalistic inquiry, it is problematic. In particular, I will explore the following questions:
Are questions necessary?
What counts as data?
Do ‘analysis’ and ‘interpretation’ mean the same thing?
To what extent is it possible to separate data, analysis and interpretation?
To want extent are reliability and validity defining characteristics of research?
Is publication really necessary in order for the activity to count as research?
David Nunan is President Emeritus and Distinguished Professor, Anaheim University, California and Professor Emeritus of Applied Linguistics, University of Hong Kong. He is a Past President of TESOL and currently serves on the Board of Trustee of the International Research Foundation for English Language Education. He has published over 100 books and articles on language curriculum design and methodology, research methods, teacher education and technology in education. In 2015 he received the James E. Alatis Award for Outstanding and Extended Service to TESOL from TESOL International, and the Outstanding Service Award from the Distance Education Accreditation Commission. He also received the Congressional Award for Services to Education from the United States Congress.
