It was Co-chaired by Catherine Motto, CAMELTA National President, and Prof Daniel Nkemleke, of the Higher Teacher Training College Yaounde. The Co-plenary speakers were Brindy Belinga and Ita Ndifon.

Here’s a little bit about what the conference was about:

• “The conference intends to open further spaces for dialogues on ways of bridging the gap between teacher preparation, practice, and professional development in the global South.
• The hope is to come out with projects that use classroom evidence to inform, pre-service training, practice, and professional development in ELT in various contexts on a sustainable basis
• This conference will set another agenda for classroom research”
