I’m at the #baal2025 conference at @uofglasgow.bsky.social . Lots of the sessions are taking place in the GU Union, and I’m getting flashbacks to my undergrad years. I’m pretty sure I saw the Tom Robinson Band here back in the day.

More!

Great to watch some of my former students from @uniwestscotland.bsky.social and current students from @uofgtesol.bsky.social presenting their research at the Scottish TESOL/Applied Linguistics Research Conference

Nice to get name-checked at an #IATEFL2025 plenary 😃. Thanks, Neil

High point of #IATEFL2025 coming up, Neil McMillan’s plenary on #tblt followed by @seburnt.bsky.social’s talk on inclusive materials 😬😃

Post-presentation pint with good friends and colleagues who I don’t see enough of #IATEFL2025

Nice cosy room for my #IATEFL2025 talk, starting at 3.05pm today. Maybe see you there?

All set for #IATEFL2025. Edinburgh this year, which seems strange to me for some reason. Lovely weather - so far.

At this year’s #IATEFL2025 conference in Edinburgh, I’ll be exploring the concept of “empowerment” and “empowering ELT”, a popular phrase which, in my view, doesn’t adequately encapsulate what needs to be done. Come and join me on 8th April at 3.05pm.

Always great to celebrate graduation with my students. Here’s me with some 23-24 @uofgtesol.bsky.social graduates and colleagues the other day 😊
