I will conclude by making a few radical recommendations, and by raising a number of questions which might usefully be addressed during the rest of the conference.

This talk will try to highlight limitations in the conventional thinking about teacher motivation in dealing with teacher motivation to develop, drawing on some recent developments in conceptualizing motivation. It will present some lessons and insights towards a better understanding of and promoting teachers’ motivation for professional development. Amol Padwad teaches in J. M. Patel College, Bhandara. He is the Convener, AINET, and an ELT consultant with a special interest in teacher development. 12.30 – 13.00 Streaming of students: how to promote social justice and inclusivity, Jayagowri Shivakumar This presentation examines the pedagogical, ethical and social implications of the streaming of students based on their linguistic competence in English. It is a case study of the pedagogical initiatives by NMKRV College for women, an undergraduate college in Bangalore. The presenter will examine whether this institutional quality initiative is in keeping with their ideology of social justice and their desire to maximise learning opportunities for students without any academic or sociocultural privileging. Jayagowri Shivakumar teaches at NMKRV College for Women, Bangalore India. Her area of specialisation is ELT and CPD. ___________________________________________________________________________________ 11.45 – 12.45 G01/02 Learning to test or testing to learn? Washback and the learner, Stephen Carey (IELTS) Interest in and research into washback has gained momentum since the 1990s. Sometimes seen very simply as the impact of a test on teaching and learning, washback is a more complex concept than initially appears. Whether it is positive or negative depends on a variety of factors. With particular reference to the IELTS test this presentation will discuss these factors in the light of research which has and is shaping current thinking about washback. Stephen Carey, a Master's of King's College London, leads the global marketing of the IELTS test at the British Council. ___________________________________________________________________________________ 19
