London Language Show 2010Click here to see the invitation shared prior to the event.
ICT without Tears.Helen promoted ALL events in her session. As promised to those who did not get copies, here are quick links to downloads of the documents distributed at the session. The Show and Tell session.Many thanks to the organisers of The Language Show for trusting us to try out a new venture - inviting people to come to a session where they could offer to give a 2-minute idea with everyone else. We feel it went really really well .. drawing teachers from all sectors and all languages .. 'All pulling together'... and we really hope they'll let us do this again next year! Those who were involved may want to suggest this to the organisers! We were especially pleased that so many people from the English language teaching community joined us and made friends. Perhaps next year we could very explicitly badge this as a session which really is for all sectors, all ages and all languages .. including English. Helen cajoled people into putting their names into a bag. An ideal number of offers meant that everyone had a go at standing up to give a 2-minute maximum 'idea' for language teaching. 5 names announced at a time mean that there was a smooth flow and maximum use made of precious time! Thanks so much to the brave volunteers who obediently yelled into the microphones to make themselves heard over the rest of the show! Thanks to the audience who through smiles, nodding and tracking (a new concept we learnt from Leanne at the PGCE event ... watch your speaker - make them feel listened-to!) made their experience more comfortable! Joe has considerable experience in these sessions, organised the IT projection and encouraged everyone to come along and join in. He ended the session by congratulating those who participated in the Language Olympics Challenge. The Winners were announced and applauded! Full results are here.
Well done! The session ended with Justin Sycamore from Vocabexpress inviting to buy us a drink at The Tournament pub where Edexcel footed the bill for some nice warm nibbles. Thanks Alistair! Our SocialWe then had a lovely evening together - talking (thanks to all), eating (thanks Edexcel), drinking (thanks Vocabexpress), quizzing (thanks Cat), juggling (thanks Justin) and photographing! Evidence below .... Our family photo album.Please mail Helen (1) for copies in full resolution [Apologies - she had not checked the camera settings - lots of red-eye, blob in the middle of the lens, and reduced versions do not do justice to the beauty of the people featured!

(3) if you can supply names of people [missing: Francesa, Rosie Amos and Haleh I think - sorry!] Video coming soon including the announcement of the European Language Olympics
