MANIFESTO

WHY IS THE INNOVATE ELT CONFERENCE UNIQUE?

InnovateELT is an annual conference inaugurated in 2015. True to the name, our aim is to discuss the role of innovation in language education and celebrate some of the most exciting things happening around us.

The event attracts ELT professionals from around the world, from fields including teaching, training, leadership, materials writing, publishing, EdTech and more! Find out below why we think the InnovateELT conference is unique.

Additionally, at Oxford TEFL, we are committed to supporting the educational community globally, working together with CAMFED, our charity partner, raising funds through our Innovate ELT event to multiply the number of girls in school and accelerate their path to livelihoods and leadership in sub-Saharan Africa.
