Vijayawada, June 27: The Department of English and the Loyola ELT Resource and Research Centre will conduct a two-day UGC-sponsored national seminar on ‘Reflective practice in the English classroom’ at Andhra Loyola College on August 11 and 12 to explore a dynamic means of self-driven professional growth and student-centric orientation of English teachers.
M.L. Tickoo, who earlier worked with the CIEFL (now known as EFLU), will deliver the keynote address, while V. Robert Bellarine, British Council (south India)’s former English Studies Officer, and others will be plenary speakers.
P. Ramanujam, Reader in English and Director of ELT Centre at ALC, who will be the seminar convener, said on Friday that the seminar was open for English teachers, their colleagues and research scholars who were interested in sharing their experiences.
Nearly 300 delegates from across the country were expected to participate in the deliberations, he added.
The reflective model of professional development had become important in the context of making them effective partners in innovation rather than just looking for support from experts.
