CONFERENCE PROGRAMME

About the Conference

Nature of the Conference

This two-day conference, which is a full IATEFL Research SIG conference organized in conjunction with Gediz University, is for the sharing of teacher-research experiences among English language teachers across Turkey and beyond. The conference aims to provide opportunities for teachers to share their research relating to classroom practice with the wider ELT community in an informal, supportive and convivial atmosphere. The event also provides a platform for general reflection on a wide selection of teacher-research studies.




Theme

It is well-known that teacher-learning and development is of crucial importance for the enhancement of the quality of teaching. Developing teaching competence through researching classroom puzzles and problems is a valid way of bottom-up and process-based professional development. Such development can lead to deeper and more effective learning in teachers. It is this kind of teacher learning and development that this conference is focusing on.
