The conference this year was so inspiring and rejuvenating for me. I almost
regret being on Sabbatical next year. I am so thankful to the ETAI committee
and all the other volunteers who went into making this such a memorable
experience. As some others have mentioned, apart from some excellent sessions,
it is the feeling of camaraderie and establishing new contacts, professional
and personal, that make the conference so special. One session that I would
like to mention, however, was that given by Judy Yaron and Dorit telor-Reize on
how learning about and appreciating the history of EFL in Isreal is a very
meaningful part of their students' first year of study in the college. I was
quite fascinated by this whole concept, but what particularly moved me at the
session was a power point presentation that the students had made on the topic.
For the older members of the audience it must have been awfully nostalgic, but
what really struck home was the extent of our professional growth and
development as English teachers over the past 25+ years. So much has changed in
the field of educational theory and research and it seems that we have
welcomed these opportunities for change and progress which has made this
profession such a dynamic and exciting one to be in. It was a shame that so few
people were there. Maybe it could be shown at the next conference as the
opening to a plenary or something. You'd really get a kick out of it!
Thanks again Dorit and Judy,
Lindsey
