We talk a lot about technology in ELT but the gap between what we do, and could do, is becoming a chasm. A panel of technology experts, bringing experiences from outside the ELT world, will discuss trends such as machine translation, artificial intelligence, chatbots and future workplaces. Their perspectives will challenge our current thinking, and help us consider future possibilities.

UK native English speakers do not implicitly know the grammar of their native language. This talk presents the benefits of teaching traditional grammar used in EFL teaching materials explicitly for 40 hours before pre-service TESOL education. The talk outlines a starting point for instruction and gives reasons for why formal explicit grammar instruction needs consideration in UK TESOL education.

Applying complex theories of motivation to teaching practice is challenging. Drawing on ideas from the new book Motivational Teaching, this session offers an original perspective on motivation that will help teachers of young people respond to this challenge. We will do a fun thought experiment to reveal how motivation can be raised, gaining theoretical and practical insights into motivational teaching.

With globalization and immigration, ELT approaches that recognize and value diversity are needed. Plurilingualism is one approach that offers several benefits to English learners, but practice is still a challenge. In this talk, participants will learn about plurilingual tasks and projects that can be implemented in their own context. Plurilingual ELT represents a world that is diverse and inclusive.

In this presentation, I will present the case for listening both to what language learners have to say about the materials they would like to use and to what they have to say about themselves, about their ideas, their views and about their world. I will refer to successful examples of listening to learners and suggest other ways of listening.
