A quite frankly excessive promo flyer for a conference

david — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 07:05:39 +0000

Not only can you win prizes, you can even attend presentations. BTW, I actually know one of the people in the pictures.

A bit OTT if you ask me

Shuttles from JFK to NYC

david — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 07:56:55 +0000

I’ve talked in the past about my wish to get back to the Big Appe at the soonest opportunity, and it’s now good to know that I can travel in the knowledge that I can relax when I eventually land thanks to the car service jfk airlink shuttle service from the Airlink Shuttle website. Not only do you benefit from the advantages of being able to make your arrangements in advance of your trip, you can also take advantage of the opportunity to make your reservation online, something worth considering if you’re planning any length of time in advance. This car service jfk airlink shuttle service has clearly been designed to make that awkward final part of your journey much more enjoyable than it ever has been in the past.

Many of us in this fascinating profession of teaching English as a foreign language love travel and getting to see as many different parts of the world as possible. However, one aspect of traveling I don’t like is arriving at a big international airport only to be confronted by the prospect of having to deal with the problem of getting from the airport to wherever you planned to stay. I really must say, even traveling to cities such as New York, which give us the benefit of speaking the same language as many of the locals, the car service jfk experience is something that I wish to get over and done with quickly and painlessly and now I can.

Tasks: Context, Purpose and Use: TBLT 2009

david — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 05:41:00 +0000

‘Tasks: context, purpose and use’
The 3rd Biennial International Conference on Task-Based Language Teaching
13th-16th September, 2009

Under the auspices of the International TBLT Consortium and the Department of Linguistics and English Language, Lancaster University, you’ve still got more than a year to cobble together a decent excuse to visit the Lake District for this TBL extravaganza.

The first international TBLT conference was hosted in 2005 at the University of Leuven in Belgium and the second international conference on TBLT was hosted in 2007 at the University of Hawaii, Honolulu. As in the two previous conferences, the organisers look forward to bringing together researchers and educators from around the world to share and learn from one another’s innovations and research in task-based language teaching, that is, of course, assuming that there’s anyone out there who still has anything new to say about this methodology.

Plenary Speakers at the event will be Geoff Brindley (Macquarie University, Australia), Zoltán Dörnyei (University of Nottingham, UK), Bernard Mohan (University of British Columbia, Canada) and Lourdes Ortega (University of Hawaii, USA).

The conference will be held in the university’s self-proclaimed ‘well-equipped’ conference suite. The nearby city of Lancaster has a distinguished historic castle and boasts several jewels of Georgian architecture, you’ll be pleased to know. It’s within 30 minutes of the Lake District, beloved of walkers, fell runners, rock climbers, painters, poets and writers. The campus is also close to a spectacular coastline stretching from Glasson Dock, a couple of miles away, through Morecambe Bay to the coast of the Southern Lakes, and also lies within easy reach of the Pennines and the Yorkshire Dales. Seriously, though, this is a lovely part of the world and if you can swing funding from your boss this could make for a pleasant experience all round

Technology for Innovation and Education in Developing Countries

5th International Workshop: July 31 – August 2, 2008, Kampala, Uganda

Just one of the many elephants that will be in attendance

One strictly for the locals I fear but it may be worth a try if you’re feeling lucky and you catch your boss in a good mood. The goal of this fifth international workshop will be to bring together interested parties to discuss various issues involved in developing new techniques and on novel uses of technology for innovation and education in developing countries.

This conference aims to have a unique combination of academics, community outreach, and connection with nature. There is one main conference day, followed by an outreach day and a national park day, whatever that might entail.
