BELTA goes to Glasgow: 51st IATEFL Conference (Part Three)
09/04/2017 - 15:54
This final post about the IATEFL Conference in Glasgow combines my experiences from Wednesday and Thursday. I am sorry that it is late, but as I mentioned in my previous post, I needed to finish my presentation for Thursday on Wednesday evening, and this conference is exhausting! Then on Thursday evening, I had dinner with some lovely Belgians (you can read more about that in the post) and let left for ‘sunny’ Belgium on Friday morning.
So, from the comfort of my own home, I am writing this last post in which I try to link the experiences of Wednesday and Thursday.
If you have comments about my posts, please don’t hesitate to add a comment!
BELTA goes to Glasgow: 51st IATEFL Conference (Part Two)
04/04/2017 - 22:26
The first day of this four-day conference is always the busiest. You try to attend a session for each time interval, you learn to familarise yourself with the venue (especially where can you get coffee), you do a cursory tour of the Exhibition Hall so you can decide what you will come back later to purchase (and – good news – you can ship your purchases home for a small fee; most purchases are 20% off, so what you save you buy for shipping – saving a lot of hassle when packing on Friday morning), and running into old friends and making new friends. Today, I talk about the various sessions I attended and who I ran into!
Today was the unofficial start of the 2017 IATEFL Conference. The conference, which runs for four days, officially begins tomorrow. The PCE (Pre-Conference Events) are available for those who do not think four days is enough! Every SIG (Special Interest Group) holds a full-day of workshops and talks organized around a theme, and many of 131 Teaching Associates come together for a full-day of sharing and planning. BELTA President, John Arnold, is in Glasgow and he attended the Associates Day PCE. All this week, he will be reporting about his experiences at IATEFL.
