Great to see our MSc/MEd TESOL students volunteering at the @baal2025.bsky.social annual conference at UofG @uofglasgow.bsky.social Also, to have a former MSc TESOL student coming back giving poster presentations on their PhD!
A sign of a good conference is when you come away afresh, with new ideas & feeling more hopeful about the world. And after #BAAL2025 I do!!
