Upcoming CPD Opportunities: Spring 2025
Upcoming CPD Opportunities: Spring 2025
Spring is in the air! (at least for those of us in
the northern hemisphere). It's the time of year when I get confused about whether the clocks have already gone forward - every morning seems considerably lighter than the day before! With spring comes new energy: a chance to dust off those winter blues and try
something new, and a perfect opportunity for a little professional spring cleaning. So here is the latest in the seasonal collection of links to ELT events.
I started these summaries to help me keep track all the CPD opportunities available. As it seemed useful, I decided to share and the response has been great – thank you for all your support! Although I update the posts regularly, I can still miss things – so if there is anything you think might be useful, please let me know in the comments.

SUMMARY
The NYS TESOL Anti-Racist Action SIG is
hosting this event and invites you to join them.
Webinar Event: Supporting Diversity,
Equity, and Inclusion amidst a Backlash
Event Description: Under the current
presidential administration, we're seeing funding changes and policy shifts
aimed at dismantling diversity, equity, and inclusion programs at educational
institutions. These efforts will disproportionately affect English language
learners, especially those from religious and racial minority groups. This
session will be a chance for all of us to share our concerns, and discuss ways
to continue providing inclusive education.
TITLE: Tangible takeaways
every lesson: validating 1:1 classes
PRESENTER: Rachel Appleby
DATES & TIMES: Sunday,
27th April, 2025 – 15:00 (UK time)
LANGUAGE: English
ORGANISED BY: IATEFL BESIG
TYPE OF EVENT: Free
Webinar
SUMMARY
We often invest hours into planning; how
exactly do our students benefit? Do we know? Do they?
Effective ‘planning’ in 1:1 is about
preparation, flexibility and respectfulness. While classes can seem relaxed and
content often unpredictable, it’s still crucial to determine valid takeaways and
strategies for defining them.
This workshop looks at what 1:1 students
often expect, with a little background theory to support planning vs.
preparation. While we cannot not plan, we do need to employ flexible
strategies, so that we can respond to student needs on the day.
So we’ll be looking at ways to tackle ‘the
unexpected’, and I’ll be demonstrating a selection of tried and tested
activities which respond to what our student might require there and then.
Finally, I’ll focus on how we can define, with the student, specific, tangible
and positive benefits.

guides teachers from learning about new methods to successfully using them in
their classrooms to improve student learning.

understanding and engage with others through spoken language) more centrally in
the curriculum. Through insight and practical examples from her research Dr
Flynn suggests ways in which teacher educators can guide teachers in promoting
intentional dialogue in the classroom and helping their learners develop this
fundamental skill for learning and life.

TITLE: TEASIG: How does
assessment shape student identities?
PRESENTERS: Dr Juuso
Nieminen
DATES & TIMES: Wednesday,
30th April, 2025 – 09:00 (UK time)
LANGUAGE: English
ORGANISED BY: IATEFL Testing,
Evaluation & Assessment SIG (TEASIG)
TYPE OF EVENT: Webinar –
Free for IATEFL members
SUMMARY
When students enter education, they do not
simply start ‘learning’ and ‘studying’ but begin a journey of becoming someone
new in relation to themselves and to society. One of the key purposes of
education is to shape students as certain kinds of learners, people and
citizens. However, the role of assessment in forming student identities has
received less attention in research and practice.
This presentation thus discusses the importance
of understanding assessment from the viewpoint of student identities. The
presentation revisits the traditional ideal of ‘fair and objective assessment’
that should be standardised for all students, regardless of their identities.
At the same time, it discusses how
assessment shapes students’ identities, and what the consequences of these
social mechanisms are. It is argued that assessment is one of the most powerful
tools through which educational institutions shape students.
TITLE: Effective lesson
planning for emergent language
PRESENTERS: Cecilia Nobre
DATES & TIMES: Saturday,
3rd May, 2025 - 15:00 (UK time)
LANGUAGE: English
ORGANISED BY: IATEFL
TYPE OF EVENT: Free
Webinar
SUMMARY
This webinar is designed for teachers
seeking to enhance their planning skills and better manage emergent language in
the classroom.
Many initial qualification courses don't
adequately address how to handle emergent language and unexpected learning
moments, leaving teachers feeling unprepared and hesitant to address
spontaneous teachable moments during lessons. Hence, this session will explore
how to balance a "semi-structured" planning with the flexibility
required to address these spontaneous learning opportunities.
Participants will learn about planning
strategies that provide positive and meaningful teachable opportunities. The
session will discuss the tension between structure and freedom in ELT,
highlighting strategies for both novice and experienced teachers. Whether they
prefer using coursebooks or planning from scratch with authentic materials,
practical examples will illustrate how to plan for and respond to emergent
language, ensuring lessons are dynamic and responsive to students' needs.
Attendees will gain insights into planning practices that encourage both
predictability and adaptability, ultimately enhancing their students' learning
experience. Participants will see examples and try out a teaching scenario,
leaving with practical strategies they can immediately apply in their teaching
practice.

TITLE: “Let me hear the
real you!” A spotlight on voice and persona
PRESENTERS: David Byrne
and Mark Heffernan
DATES & TIMES: Wednesday
14th May 2025 16:00 (UK time)
LANGUAGE: English
ORGANISED BY: MET (Modern
English Teacher)
TYPE OF EVENT: Free
Webinar
SUMMARY
David knows who he is in English, he’s
pretty clear on that. But when he speaks Spanish suddenly he’s more direct. Is
this because of a lack of hedging structures or is it his Spanish voice?
In this interactive webinar, David Byrne
and Mark Heffernan will explore the importance of discussing voice and persona
with learners. Do our students know who they are when speaking in English? Do
they come across how they expect? With the development of AI, it’s become even
more important for learners to know their voice, to know how they want to come
across, and to stand out from AI generated content.
Join us as we share practical ideas and
activities you can implement into your lessons to explore these concepts with
your learner, and to find out more about Mark’s voice and persona in German!
Mark and David are the authors of the MET
On Reflection feature that reflects on the topic of each issue, as well as a
number of other articles.

To
Be There (Luke Meddings)
What does it mean to be there for our
students? How can we be more present in class, for them and to ourselves? What
are the challenges, and what are the upsides, of teaching in the moment? In
this session we’ll look at some inspirational scrapbook material from the
worlds of film, music and medicine to help us reflect on the nature of
attention, and to consider what might flow from a more active, responsive and
curious approach to teaching.
The
Art of the Unplanned: Quick Reactions for When Plans Go Off Track (Bita Rezaei)
Teaching is full of surprises, but how you
respond to the unexpected can make all the difference. In this session, you'll
learn how to shift your mindset and embrace disruptions as opportunities for
growth. You'll walk away with practical strategies and go-to activities that
can save the day when things don’t go as planned. These simple, effective
techniques will help you stay calm, adaptable, and confident, ensuring that
you’re always ready to turn classroom challenges into moments of deeper
learning.

Vietnam to tackle the complex issues of innovation and creativity in language
learning through a multilingual framework.
