WORKSHOP AND SEMINAR PROPOSALS
Proposals are invited for workshops and seminars at NATE’s 2018 annual conference. The deadline for proposals is Friday 1st December 2017, 6 pm. Proposers will receive feedback by Monday 1st January 2018. We are keen to receive as many proposals as possible. Presenters are also invited to submit a version of their work to one of NATE’s publications.
Workshops – length: two and a half hours, delivered in two parts
We are seeking to present a range of workshops for teachers covering age ranges from primary to post-16, a number of aspects of mainstream English teaching and a number of specialist areas. Workshops should provide interactive sessions involving participants in practical work and discussion. Workshops will be presented on both days, thereby providing workshop leaders with the opportunity to deliver a single workshop on either day; or to present the same workshop on both days; or to deliver different workshops on each day.
One presenter per workshop will be entitled to a discount of 50% of the full conference rate (excluding accommodation) for each workshop presented.
Seminars – length: one hour
Seminar sessions are intended to provide the opportunity for presenters to disseminate ideas about resources, methods, ideas or issues in a different format from workshops or research papers for a mixed audience. The session may take the form of a demonstration or talk with opportunities for questions or discussion. Workshop and research presenters are welcome to offer a seminar too.
Proposals should be emailed to NATE’s Director, Paul Clayton, at the following email addresses:
