The Eve of IATEFL 2014

   My colleague and I have arrived here in the beautiful Harrogate. After 2 hours sleep due to excitement and an early morning flight, I'm ready for some rest before the TEFL-packed week ahead. This year marks my first year to experience the wondrous and inspiring IATEFL Annual Conference and to say that I'm excited, is an understatement. The prospect of learning, new discoveries and meeting ELT gods and goddesses has literally led me to sleep deprivation.
  Since downloading the Conference App last week, I have been searching and planning the next 5 days. It all begins tomorrow with the PCE (Pre-Conference Events). I have chosen PronSIG's (Pronunciation Special Interest Group), mainly because that is where my heart lies in ELT at the moment. For the last 6 months, I have been an administrator for the PronSIG's Facebook page, and I'm truly looking forward to meeting all the lovely people that I have gotten to know through posting and sharing ideas. The line-up is also something that I could not turn down, including, Wayne Rimmer, Alan Tonkyn, John Field, Robin Walker and Richard Cauldwell.
  Over the next few days, I hope to report my experience of each day at the conference, a type of journal if you will. It serves to give myself the opportunity to reflect, but also for those of you who can't make it to the conference in person or online, you can get a taste of it here.
