Keynote 1
Harry Waters (OUP) – Climate Change (Makers)
Harry has been deep in the TEFL world for over 14 years now. He is a teacher, teacher trainer and content creator with a passion for teaching and obsession with the planet. This led him to create Renewable English , an online English course providing free classes and materials aimed at raising climate change awareness across the globe. He describes himself as an imperfect environmentalist with a love of flags and funky second-hand shirts.
Keynote 2
Charlotte Williams (OUP) – Gender and Sexuality in ELT – why we should have roasted the PARSNIP long ago
In her talk ‘Gender and Sexuality in ELT – why we should have roasted the PARSNIP long ago' Charlotte Williams will be exploring modern inclusive language, why it’s important and how to create safe and inclusive educational spaces. She will explore some of the blockers we face when aiming for Inclusivity, give some suggestions on how to overcome these blockers and suggest some useful resources to aid teachers and management alike on their EDI journey. Oh, and er… what ‘PARSNIP’ means when it’s not a vegetable!
