Georgia wrote about her session:
As AI tools become more prevalent in our daily lives, many educators feel the
pressure to incorporate them into their teaching, often dedicating significant
time to exploring these technologies. In this session, we will be exploring the
integration of AI methods focusing on fostering critical thinking, peer-
collaboration and addressing potential challenges.

Green IATEFL and You! YES YOU! November 2024 Event online
November Event: IATEFL Vice-President Christopher Graham to present at the TESOL MTH/NG November Event
Sunday 17th November at 17:00 on Zoom
Tesol Macedonia-Thrace, Northern Greece is honoured to be hosting a webinar led by IATEFL Vice-Chair Mr Christopher Graham. Chris is going to talk to us about the new IATEFL initiative Green IATEFL, a venture that should concern us all.
The speaker wrote about his session:
''IATEFL has launched a new initiative around the interface between sustainability and ELT. We will be looking at both classroom applications and opportunities, and also establishing IATEFL as a thought leader in the field. And we need your inputs.''
Chris Graham took over as Vice-Chair of IATEFL in April 2024 when Gabo Diaz-Maggioli stepped down at the end of his successful term. Chris has worked in ELT for many years and was the one of the founders of ELT Footprint. His current work is with EFL teachers and students in fragile and fractured communities around the world. More than that he is a warm person and a professional who donates his time not only to IATEFL but also to EVE (Equal Voices in ELT) a non-profit association that helps teachers work on their presentation skills, thus enabling them to present at conferences.
Join us on Sunday 17th November at 17:00 on Zoom to talk about sustainability in language teaching.

Join us to discover practical strategies for nurturing these values in the EFL classroom and empowering students to become compassionate global citizens.
