📢Pre-Conference Event - Registrations Now Open!📢
Thinking about joining us at this year's InnovateELT conference at Oxford TEFL? Or perhaps you already have your ticket and you are looking for an additional way to upgrade your leadership skills before the big event.
We are excited to announce our Innovate ELT Pre-Conference event: Leadership tools for ELT professionals.
This dynamic 4-hour workshop is designed for ELT teachers, trainers, and managers who want to lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose, regardless of their job title.
We will focus on the practical challenges we face: difficult conversations, blurred roles, lack of time, waning motivation, and the pressure to “hold it all together” while supporting others.
Through hands-on tasks, guided reflection, and real ELT scenarios, participants will explore and develop key leadership skills, including:
✅Clear and effective communication in classrooms, staffrooms, and management contexts
✅Assertiveness without aggression: setting boundaries, saying no, and being heard
✅Time and energy management for sustainable professional practice
✅Motivation both self-motivation and motivating others
✅Self-awareness as the foundation of credible, authentic leadership
This workshop is highly interactive, practical, and immediately applicable. You will leave with concrete tools, sharper self-insight, and strategies you can use tomorrow, whether you are leading a class, a team, or a whole institution. 🤩
Learn all the leadership tools you need to succeed in ELT from Duncan Foord who has accumulated over 30 years of experience in this area - and now he is ready to share this with you.🧠
👀Limited places available! 👀

AI in the classroom: help or hindrance? 🤖
AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini are reshaping how we teach and learn—but it’s not all simple wins.
From streamlining lesson planning and pronunciation practice to risks like loss of creativity, misinformation, and over‑reliance on machines, educators are navigating a real double‑edged sword.
The key? Use AI to support teaching—not replace the human element that makes learning meaningful.
