The IATEFL LTSIG is thrilled to announce it is offering its members one new scholarship for the IATEFL LTSIG Pre-Conference Event ‘Feedback in a Digital Age’ to be held in Liverpool, 1 April 2019. Full details of the event can be found on this separate post.
The IATEFL LTSIG values Continuous Professional Development (CPD) as a career-long obligation for practising professionals. Well crafted and delivered CPD is important as it offers benefits to the individual, their profession and their teaching context. For this reason, we are offering the specific grant for CPD purposes, and would like to invite IATEFL LTSIG members to submit a CPD statement elaborating on how a PCE on digital feedback would benefit their teaching context. The deadline for applications is November 12th 2018, 17.00 GMT, and the results will be announced by November 30th.
The grant is to offset conference related expenses including the PCE fee. In order to qualify, you:
– must be a fully paid-up member of the IATEFL LTSIG
– complete ALL parts of the LTSIG form (including a valid IATEFL membership number, statement of purpose)
– take an active part during the event (e.g. share the event on Social Media)
We are delighted to have Russell Stannard with us for the day! Russell is the founder of TeacherTrainingVideos.Com. Previously a Principal Teaching Fellow at the University of Westminster and the University of Warwick, he is now a NILE associate trainer where he runs short courses on the flipped classroom, as well as teaching on the master’s programme. He was awarded the British Council ELTons Innovation award in 2010 and nominated again last year, along with NILE, for his Power Up course. He has also won the Times Higher ‘Outstanding Technology Initiative’ award. He is particularly known for his work and research into using technology to provide feedback to students and writes columns for English Teaching Professional, Express Publishing Teacher’s Corner and the Move Languages Ahead blog. He has published widely on the topic of feedback and assessment.
