Description: It seems that everyone is talking about AI, right? Some see it as a sign of the end of teaching, some as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. But how concerned should we really be?

Tips and techniques for working with emergent language, with Danny Norrington-Davies and Richard Chinn
Description: Dealing with learner language that arises in a lesson is a natural part of learning in class, and this is called ‘emergent language’. Although a well-known term in English language teaching, there has been little concrete advice for teachers on how to effectively work with emergent language in class. In this interactive talk Danny & Richard will explore ways you can develop your ability to notice and respond to emergent language in your classes.
