You can’t miss it!
You will have the chance – should you feel like – to have your participation magnified!
Not only will delegates be able to attend talks, workshops, Pecha Kucha presentations, show&tell moments and Live BrELT Chats, but you can also engage in structured networking moments.
How do these formats work?
– Talks: reflective presentations of a topic related to aspects of teaching, professional development or Education in general
– Workshops: hands-on sessions with practical ideas to add to your teaching repertoire
– Live BrELT Chats: in a circle, you will be able to share your thoughts and learn from listening to different perspectives. Interactive, dynamic and fun!
– Show & Tell: lively presentations that will enhance your set of teaching activities
– Pecha Kucha: What about ending the day on a high note? Each presenter is allowed a slideshow of 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds, giving a total presentation time of six minutes and forty seconds before the next speaker is up, keeping presentations fast-paced and engaging.
Furthermore, in case you have never presented at an ELT conference, you can count on the expertise of the BrELT team to provide guidance and feedback in order to sharpen your presentations skills.
