Week 6 [Feb 16- Feb 22]:
Reflections: NNEST-IS: Where do we go from here?
Guest Speaker: George Braine
Participants will have the opportunity to read George Braine's updated article "NNS and Invisible Barriers in ELT", and interact with the author in a week-long discussion about the 'invisible barriers' that many NNS teachers still face today and what lies ahead for these professionals. For the first five weeks, participants have learned about ideas and skills needed for professional development. For this week, participants will be able to establish a sense of what this whole NNEST-EVO session is about. With the given resources and network, the participants will feel empowered and ready to face these barriers head on. But where do we go from here? Join us this week to find out.
