Preparing students for a world where they are most likely to speak English with other non-native speakers, supporting learning difficulties and classroom research were just a few of the subjects tackled at a packed English UK Teachers' Conference this year.

For ELT author Ken Wilson, getting the classroom experience right for students is key to good teaching.

So his closing talk at the English UK Teachers' Conference 2016 will include ideas on how to do just that, linked to memorable quotations from people as diverse as Einstein and Mark Twain with some practical exercises as well.

Prepare to be challenged in the opening session of the English UK Teachers' Conference as speaker Laura Patsko gets delegates thinking about their own practice - and unseen barriers to changing it.

English UK members can enjoy another year of high-quality professional conferences at the lowest possible cost thanks to a new sponsorship deal with Trinity College London.
