This has been my 3rd IATEFL conference so far and it's still such a great experience! Though I think the program was extremely packed this year, which resulted in lots of sessions that I had to miss because I was either somewhere else or I didn't even notice the person was speaking until after the session. So that's bit of a shame but I still managed to go to some exciting workshops and talks, and here are my notes to capture the main points!
The sessions I attended:
Are ELT writers born or made? - by Katherine Bilsborough and John Hughes (@writingeltmaterials)
New directions in ELT dictionaries - by Julie Moore
