Presented By David Valente

Session Details

This talk extends beyond the moral, legal and business reasons for equality and diversity in the workplace by presenting the specific ELT case. We will explore five key areas of ELT within the framework of equality and diversity and how to attend to these when in the classroom. The focus is on practical ideas which teachers can readily use.
