From: leosel@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: ETAI Spring Conference - Proposal submission deadline approaching! Dear all, You are cordially invited to attend the ETAI spring conference which will take place in Tel Aviv on April 10. The theme of the conference is "Spring-cleaning your pedagogical cupboard" The last 100 years in EFL have demonstrated that it is a continually evolving and developing field. Methods come and go in response to both changes in education approaches and research in second language acquisition. In view of the on-going changes in teaching English, spring- cleaning our EFL cupboards implies reviewing what it is exactly we do in order to maintain effective teaching and learning. How "organised" is our thinking? How often do we "take stock" of our lesson planning so as to avoid "hoarding" ineffective practice? "Sorting out" our EFL cupboard provides us with a chance to examine what really works and what doesn't. We may also discover that we tend to "throw out" all kind of methods just because new EFL ideas suggest that the old is "taking up too much space!" Spring-cleaning our EFL cupboard means exploring the new but seriously rethinking the old. The conference features: - keynote speeches by specialists from Israel and the UK - parallel sessions / workshops - as usual, educational materials / book exhibition - a raffle LINK TO THE PROPOSAL FORM: http://goo.gl/e0qf0x We hope to see on April 10th at Levinsky College Lindsay, Leo & Sharona - Spring conference conveners ************************************** ** Join ETNI on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/31737970668/ ** ETNI Blog and Poll http://ask-etni.blogspot.co.il/ ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org ** post to ETNI List - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** help - ask@xxxxxxxx ***************************************
