*Important: Event Details Have Changed *
Don't miss your chance to take part in the next IATEFL Early Career Chat on Teaching Grammar with Yulia Efremova (English for Speakers of Other Languages Special Interest Group; ESOLSIG), taking place on Saturday 6th June at 2:00PM (UK time).

Designed especially for early-career teachers, the session invites participants to share ideas, build confidence, and discover simple, practical approaches that can enhance everyday teaching practice. Join us in this interactive session where we can look at how the most effective classrooms integrate grammar into meaningful contexts—such as speaking and writing tasks—rather than teaching it in isolation.

Don't miss your chance to take part in the next IATEFL Early Career Chat on Teaching Grammar with Yulia Efremova (English for Speakers of Other Languages / ESOL), taking place on Saturday 6th June at 2:00PM (UK time).

Designed especially for early-career teachers, the session invites participants to share ideas, build confidence, and discover simple, practical approaches that can enhance everyday teaching practice. Join us in this interactive session which will explore areas like how teaching grammar in ELT should aim to help learners communicate accurately, fluently, and confidently in real-life situations. Modern approaches emphasise contextualised and communicative grammar instruction instead of isolated rule memorisation.
