4TH ELTRIA CONFERENCE, 2024 CRITICAL CONVERSATIONS: ALIGNING RESEARCH AND PRACTICE IN ELT
This two-day event on the 10-11th of May brings the ELT practice and research communities together to promote enquiry and mutually beneficial collaboration We hope to achieve a common aim: demystifying research and encouraging projects with clear practical grounding and relevance in the classroom.
To this end, the conference offers opportunities to share research findings of interest to practising teachers, both through interactive workshops and talks which summarise research in an accessible format
ELTRIA presentations encourage reflection and provoke thought, and the social format of the conference allows attendees to connect and develop the ‘critical conversations’ which bring the research and practice communities together.
This event is an ideal opportunity to experience the beautiful city of Barcelona in the spring. It also combines conveniently with the PLL5 (International Association of Psychology in Language Learning) conference taking place in Madrid the following week (16-18th May, 2024)
Organised by the EIM (School of Modern Languages) of the University of Barcelona.
