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.
