The opening speech was given by the Head of FES Ferdiye Ersoy and welcomed the participants with a general overview of the theme of the conference, with her speech “Investment in ELT”. Following Ferdiye Ersoy’s speech, GAU Vice Rector Dr. Sadık Ülker welcomed all the participants and talked about the importance of this kind of academic gathering. This was followed by a highly informative and entertaining presentation by ELT author and teacher trainer, Teresa Doğuelli.
In the second session, well known ELT author, teacher trainer and frequent visitor to GAU, Paul Seligson enlightened the participants with new insights into the teachers’ perennial problem of the correction of students’ written work in his presentation, “Correction that works… a teacher’s dream”.
The afternoon saw a session of eight concurrent workshops loosely based around the theme of “Student Investment in ELT”. The workshops were highly practical and well attended. The academic atmosphere was lightened by the “Surprise Draw” where an array of prizes were won by lucky participants.
