Research and Knowledge Exchange
Eva is a member of ELT and EAP organisations and attends professional conferences such as IATEFL and BALEAP when able to do so. She keeps up to date with current ELT theory, approaches and methodologies by reading ELT journals and literature, and collaborating with ELT colleagues both in-house and via the BALEAP, British Council and IATEFL platforms, amongst others. Eva is particularly interested in ELT materials Design, being a member of MATSDA and influenced by practitioners such as Brian Tomlinson. Eva's ELT approach and methodology is one of principled eclecticism.
