The International Festival of Mentoring Teacher-Research in ELT (2024–25)

Organized by MenTRnet and supported by  British Council,  Pilgrims Teacher Training Journal and IATEFL Research SIG, this festival’s aim is to map and draw lessons from these initiatives and to inspire others to engage in mentoring teacher-research and/or to organize teacher-research mentoring support schemes themselves. With this new emphasis on mentoring, the festival builds on two previous international festivals showcasing teacher-researchers’ own experiences, in 2017 and 2021, respectively.

Upcoming events

22 February 2025, 1.00–2.30pm (UTC): Round-table on ‘Integrating teacher-research into pre-service teacher education’, featuring Elyanora Menglieva, Fauzia Shamim, Richard Smith, Pia Tabali and Flávia Vieira,  Register here

29–30 March 2025: Teachers Research! Online 2025 conference. Details to come.

Date and registration details to be confirmed: Panel discussion on ‘Using AI to help mentor teacher inquiry’.

The Festival is chaired by Professor Richard Smith and is being organized with the support of a grant from the University of Warwick and the Economic and Social Research Council (grant reference ES/X004635/1).
