We have a limited number of spaces available for 4.30 pm “Workshop for teachers on Grammar and English” at Canada Room and Council Chambers. Please email your full name and institutional affiliation to Dr Sheila McConnellogue (sheila.mcconnellogue@qub.ac.uk) to reserve your space. Spaces are allocated on first-come-first-served basis.
***
The conference will feature keynote speakers but its main aim is to attract a range of papers from researchers and practitioners. Research is especially welcome from participants at an early stage in their development, including both Masters and doctoral students.
There will also be a workshop for local teachers offering them the chance to consider recent relevant research on the place of grammar in the teaching of writing.
