If you’re a teacher educator (or aspire to be one), you’ll find this TeachingEnglish event at 12:00 UK time tomorrow, Wednesday 20^th March, interesting, I think: the Teacher educator webinar series review 2023-2024 will reflect on the main insights from the most recent teacher educator webinar series and take a look at possible future themes.
