DEVELOPOD - The IATEFL TDSIG Podcast

The second in the series on 'The Future of Teacher Development in ELT', this episode hears from Richard Chinn and Danny Norrington-Davies, two teacher trainers and developers who have recently published a cutting edge book called 'Working with Emergent Language'.

This episode kickstarts a series of podcasts on The Future of Teacher Development in ELT. The interview is with Gabriel Garcia Maggioli, or "Gabo", the current President of IATEFL. 

Helen, the winner of the Michael Berman scholarship 2022, tells us all about their take-aways from the IATEFL conference in Belfast and offers useful tips for those going to a conference for the first time.

Plus, this is Tania's final episode as a presenter, so a big thank you to her from everyone at TDSIG! 

Christian talks to Petra and Eliška, two primary school teachers of English in the Czech Republic.  Their classroom-based inquiry projects centre around the topics of differentiation and motivation in the classroom, and their findings reveal how relatively small changes can have a very profound impact.

In this episode of TDSIG’s Developod, James, Christian and Tania discuss Race and Queerness in ELT, via their review of three articles from the recently published second volume of the TDAJ (Teacher Development Academic Journal). 

TDSIG held a web carnival in December 2020 on the theme of 'Race and Queerness' and speakers contributed to this edition of TDAJ, a publication which is available to TDSIG members and non-members alike.

They also review their highlights from the 2021 TDSDIG Pre-Conference Event (PCE) and the 2021 IATEFL online conference.
