MA TESOL/ELT Quick Fire Presentation Event 2022
MA TESOL/ELT Quick Fire Presentation Event 2022
Date: 16th August 2022
Time: 9.30 - 17.00
Location: Hybrid
UK MA English Language Teaching / TESOL students presented their dissertation ideas and work so far to fellow students in the field in an informal way. The MA ELT / TESOL Dissertation Quickfire event was held online and gave participants a great opportunity to interact with their peers from different universities in the UK as well as practise valuable presentation skills, while getting useful feedback to help them finalise their discussion and conclusion chapters.
The format of the ‘Quick Fire’ event was that each presenter gave a short (5 minute) talk with only 15 PowerPoint slides. The content of the presentation was their research area, why they were interested in it, what their research questions were and how they planned to answer them. After the presentation, participants met in small groups for 5 minutes to agree a question to ask. Then there was a short question and answer session with all delegates.
