What is FoELT?
The Future of English Language Teaching (FoELT) is Trinity College London’s free annual CPD event bringing together ELT professionals from around the world. It’s a space to explore cutting-edge ideas, share teaching innovations, and connect with like-minded professionals shaping the future of language education.
This year, we welcome Chia Suan Chong, an expert in English for Specific Purposes, who will share practical insights on integrating ESP in diverse learning contexts in her plenary session. Also joining us is Masatoshi Sato, a renowned teacher educator and researcher, whose plenary offers a fresh perspective on teacher development and innovation.
Celebrating its 10th year, FoELT is your chance to learn from leading educators, researchers and trainers in a truly global setting.
