The Fair List, UK and the year 2023

By tessa|2024-02-04T17:38:49+01:00January 1st, 2024|Uncategorized|

The pandemic and the associated lockdowns are feeling far away in time now and so there were plenty of interesting ELT events based in the UK in 2023, both face to face, via cyberspace and in hybrid form. We were back up into the twenties again for the number of event organisers making it onto The Fair List, UK awards list for great representation of women at plenary, keynote and panel speaker level. Wonderful! Check out the list on the History/Events page under 2023. Everyone on the list will get a playful certificate as a support for their work. If […]

UK ELT events are happening again!

By tessa|2023-01-02T21:01:05+01:00January 1st, 2023|Uncategorized|

Oh! My goodness what a funny two years! But 2022 and UK ELT events are happening again and so, yippee, The Fair List, UK is back!

Feeling superstitious though, after all our lock downs and hiccoughs, and just in case I couldn’t get to IATEFL Harrogate conference in 2023, I plumped for sending out certificates by email this year instead of organising our usual event cum party at the IATEFL conference in the following year. Well, ‘baby steps’ as people say!

If those on the list wish to add a photo of their committee […]

The Fair List, UK and the years 2020 and onwards

By tessa|2023-01-01T19:14:17+01:00March 1st, 2020|Uncategorized|

In 2020, the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic, the ELT world enjoyed one gender-balanced event in the UK in January, the English UK Academic conference.
By mid-March everything had closed down and since then there have been no big face to face events here.
Organisations in the UK have done their absolute best to offer interesting events for professional development on current e-learning platforms, such as Zoom, which allow us to see, hear and read each other, often for free, and from the comfort of our own homes, no travelling necessary.
These events throw up a […]

Annual Awards

By Tessa Woodward|2020-01-22T19:11:07+01:00January 22nd, 2020|Uncategorized|

Most years I organise an awards event on the evening programme of the IATEFL conference in March/April of the year following. Occasionally, when I do not plan to attend the conference, (as this year’s Manchester conference) I send an e-certificate to celebrate the event organisers on the list.

So those on the list for January to December 2019 (click here to see the list!) were sent an e-certificate this time! If they wish to add a photo of their committee or to print the certificate out several times for different committee members or print it out on nice thick […]

Book Review and Facebook News
By Tessa Woodward|2017-09-18T13:03:53+02:00September 18th, 2017|Uncategorized|
Over the summer I read a book called ‘Lab Girl’ and would highly recommend it. It is written by Hope Jahren. She is an American geochemist and geobiologist at the University of Oslo, known for her work using stable isotope analysis to analyse fossil forests dating to the Eocene. She has won many prestigious awards in the field, including the James B. Macelwane Medal of the American Geophysical Union. Her book Lab Girl (2016) has been applauded as both “a personal memoir and a paean to the natural world” and a literary fusion of memoir and science writing. She has […]

Body Language
By Tessa Woodward|2017-02-27T13:15:37+01:00February 27th, 2017|Uncategorized|
Got a job interview coming up? About to give a plenary talk? According to Amy Cuddy’s TED Talk ‘Your body language shapes who you are’. Just two minutes in private just before the event can help your outcome.

Body language affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves. Social psychologist Amy Cuddy shows how “power posing” — standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don’t feel confident — can affect testosterone and cortisol levels in the brain, and might even have an impact on our chances for success. (Note: Some of the findings […]

This year, as I am not attending the IATEFL Glasgow conference in April, I have done things a bit differently. Instead of having a ‘do’ at the conference as we have in past years, I sent out by email congratulations and playful certificates to those on the list for January-December 2016. The list is here:
