1st WORK-in-PROGRESS
Postgraduate Workshop in ELT
4 March 2024
Dear Students, Colleagues and Language Teaching Enthusiasts,
Work-in-Progress will serve as an annual platform to share the innovative work being undertaken by our students who are taking the University of Coimbra's Initial Teacher Education MA programs for English Language Teaching, while also providing an opportunity for Language Teaching Enthusiasts from diverse Language Education backgrounds to come together and explore new horizons in teaching practice.
The aim of this event is twofold: firstly, to showcase the cutting-edge projects and research initiatives of our MA students, offering a glimpse into the future of language teaching methodologies, technologies, and pedagogical approaches. Secondly, it aspires to foster a collaborative environment where pre-service and in-service teachers alike can engage in meaningful discussions, exchange ideas, and gain valuable insights from each other's experiences.
Whether you are an expert or a newcomer to the field, we look forward to welcoming you to Work-in-Progress.
