It's spring, the sun is shining and the IATEFL conference is finally here, live and face-to-face! For many of us, this is the first chance we have to catch up with each other in real life in a very long time, and we hope to see as many of you as possible in Belfast 17-20th May.

 

Come and meet us at stand 14 in the exhibition hall, we'd love to hear your news, and tell you about ours!

Did you know we have a brand new course coming up, for instance? Susi and Emma will be delighted to tell you all about Teaching Teenagers, starting this September.

 

As usual, members of the NILE team will present at the conference, along with several MA students and alumni and other friends of NILE. Below are the times and titles of the permanent staff's sessions:
