Researching professional development with the use of the narrative<br />

approach<br />

Volha Arkhipenka (University of <strong>Manchester</strong>)<br />

What is the narrative approach to research and what is its usefulness for<br />

research in TESOL? Within this talk, having explained what the narrative<br />

approach to research is, I will share my experience of using it to explore<br />

the professional development of English language teachers on an MA<br />

TESOL course.<br />

Keep CALM and write accessible ESP materials!<br />

Emily Bryson (British Council & City of Glasgow College)<br />

Designing interesting English for Specific Purposes materials can be<br />

challenging. Designing materials that are inclusive, diverse and accessible<br />

to all can also be challenging. This talk discusses how to apply the<br />

principles of Creating Accessible Learning Materials (CALM) and how they<br />

assist in the development of historical lessons for the British Council and<br />

vocational courses for City of Glasgow College.<br />

How does just chatting become a purposeful conversation?<br />

Candy van Olst (Freelance<br />

Freelance)<br />

In a classroom of more advanced learners, learning to talk and talking to<br />

learn become indistinguishable. Building purposeful conversations that<br />

prompt learning is not an innate skill. I'll define the elements of purposeful<br />

conversations that need to be taught and practised in order to develop the<br />

ability to initiate and maintain conversations that foster a wide range of<br />

social and academic skills.<br />
