2024 RATE National Conference
2024 RATE National Conference

MATE is pleased to announce

the 22nd National RATE Conference

REFLECTING ON TEACHING - EFFECTIVENESS VS EFFICIENCY

       Colegiul National “Emil Racoviță”, Aleea Nicolina 4, Iaşi, November 1 – 2, 2024

First call for papers and registrations

The practice of English language teaching requires excellence, as much as possible, or at least striving for it. This conference proposes to address the pathways available to EFL teachers in their effort to improve, considering two main directions: that of efficiency of resources, whether one considers time, money, talent and know-how, teaching materials and the students themselves, or, on the other hand, effectiveness, seen as quality progress, an improvement in terms of priorities and a whole paradigm shift whenever needed. Therefore, our aims for this conference are:

  • to provide strategies for organising and stimulating reflection in TEFL;
  • to promote sharing best practices, seeking colleagues’ advice and finding other schools and teachers that share problems in teaching;
  • to effectively share resources that answer specific issues observed through reflection

As such, the main strands and topicsof the conference will be:

  • time management
  • dealing with challenges such as poor materials and less motivated students
  • mixed-ability classes
  • measuring the success of various teaching strategies and assessment tools
  • choosing between resource efficiency and educational effectiveness as a whole
