Lessons from Leadership for ELT
Date:
12 January 2020
Join us online on Sunday, 12 January, at 3pm UTC (3pm GMT) for a webinar titled, “Lessons from Leadership for ELT” with Bob Dignen.
During 2019 Bob Dignen wrote a series of articles on the theme of leadership for Business Spotlight, a magazine for learners of professional English. In this webinar, Bob shares key insights he gained from writing these articles, which explore such themes as trust, motivation, managing performance and modern concepts such as ‘shared leadership’, and explores how ELT practitioners can integrate leadership as a topic and as a process into their teaching.

Workplace English: Pre- and In-service
Date:
11 January to 16 February 2020
IATEFL BESIG is gearing up for our biannual EVO offering. This is the 20th year that TESOL CALL have offered the five-week free programme of events.
This year, within the title of “English for the Workplace”, we will be analysing different scenarios which call for Business English – starting with pre-service students and moving on to a variety of in-service topics and ways to deliver Business English to suit the needs of our students.
We have assembled a truly international team of, predominantly, IATEFL BESIG members to deliver their expertise, with the aim of providing the very best CPD to all participants.
Our BOT team will provide moderation and we expect that the contributions will be as positive and beneficial as always.
Please follow this space for regular updates about the event.
