Gisig — Blog — The Hands Up Project

Send in the clowns

A few weeks ago I was one of the speakers at the IATEFL Pre-conference event organised collaboratively by the C Group and the Global issues special interest group. Towards the end of the day we were given a talk by Julie Pratten about her project Heart ELT which has set up a school in a refugee camp in Iraq. At the beginning Julie gave us all a blank postcard and told us that we would be doing something with it later. As she approached the end of her talk she asked us to use the postcard to write a message to the children in the camp.

Thanks for the memory!

As a teacher and teacher trainer, this has been an area of interest of mine for a long time, and it's something that I thought about a lot when I was writing Memory Activities for Language Learning. In my talk I'm going to be focussing on the conflict that exists between teacher training programmes and exam systems in many parts of the world
