GET-TOGETHERS

Get-togethers are events where SIG members discuss in pairs and small groups their learning, teaching, and researching practices and interests to do with learner development. We welcome the participation of teachers from diverse teaching contexts – including elementary school, junior high school, senior high school, university, distance learning & graduate studies, and language school settings – and teachers teaching languages other than English.

You are very welcome to come along and join in – and to invite a colleague or friend too if they share an interest in learning about learner development together with other teachers and graduate students.

For more information, please visit the Get-togethers page.
