Here are materials I have presented recently at conferences and training events

I have been very fortunate over the last few years to have the opportunity to speak about language learning to lots of teachers around the country. I have also had the chance to deliver training on specific aspects of teaching and learning locally, regionally and nationally. This area of the site is for my conference presentations and training materials. See below for a quick overview of each of the main aspects of language teaching covered in the sessions.
