In this virtual presentation, I’ll take research and ideas that I’ve worked with previously and expand into opportunities for language acquisition within English Language Teaching (ELT), advocating engaged story-work as an integral element of research.
Thank you ever so much Fayyaz Malik for this invitation. I look forward to our shared time exploring these ideas.

The purpose of this presentation is to enable participants to have new understandings of translanguaging;
In that regard, she will explore the wildness, beauty, and imagination of language.
She will delve into the methodological frameworks of Scholarly Personal Narrative and Lilyology; which is grounded in ‘story’ and provides expanded opportunities for language acquisition within ELT, advocating engaged story-work as an integral element of research.
Later, she will explain specific steps of practice, procedure and ideas on how language teachers can apply translanguaging and interdisciplinary practices with relevance and meaning to their own research and/or classrooms of students of all ages and language levels.”
