‘Withholding the image’ with Jamie Keddie in Belgrade

It is thanks to YALS (the Association of Language Schools of Serbia) and the British Council that (at least some) teachers of English in Serbia will have the opportunity to attend Withholding the Image, a seminar by Jamie Keddie.

“Jamie Keddie is a European-based teacher, teacher trainer, writer and presenter. He is the founder of Lessonstream, the site that was formerly known as TEFLclips, winner of a British Council ELTons award. His publications include Images in the Resource Books for Teachers series published by Oxford University Press. Jamie is an associate trainer at NILE (Norwich Institute for Language Education) in the UK and a training partner with Macenta Academy in Istanbul.”

The event will take place at Guarnerius in Belgrade on 23 March 2013.

The magical storytelling of Charles Dickens

We beg you to be informed that British Council Seminars will have made it possible to watch  “Bent and broken into a better shape: the magical storytelling of Charles Dickens” streamlined live on the Dickens pages on TeachingEnglish. The seminar itself will be hosted in London on 9 February 2012, as part of the Dickens bicentenary celebrations. Jeremy Harmer and Steve Bingham bring Dickens’ magic live through readings and music.
