Opening Night Panel + Q and A Session
After Gerd Leonhard has told us a bit about our futures as humans in this rapidly changing world, we need to begin to think about this in terms of ELT. Our opening night panel lets attendees hear the voices of 5 different professionals, from an early-career teacher to one of the most experienced educators in Korea. Each will briefly describe their thoughts and feelings about what may / might / will happen in ELT, in order to prime attendees to reflect on their own future(s) in the days ahead. Our panelists are: John Endicott: President, Woosung University Judy Yin: Associate Professor, Korea National University of Education Lisa M. Hunsberger: Lecturer, Kyushu Sangyo University; Presentation Design Specialist Sydney Fortowsky: Korean Government Scholar, Korea University; Early-Career English Language Teacher Stafford Lumsden: Researcher, Macquarie University; Online Teaching and Learning Specialist Come listen, and be inspired!
