If you are a postgraduate student, you are probably in the last stages of your final piece of work, the dissertation. Applied Linguistics, University of Warwick (with support from the IATEFL Research Special Interest Group) would like to invite you to an event where you can share what you have found out in your research with other students also at the same stage in their career from all over UK.The event (MA TESOL Quickfire Dissertation Presentation) will take place in person and online (ie in hybrid format) on Monday 7th August 2023.
A Quickfire Presentation means that every presenter gives a VERY SHORT (5 minute) summary of their topic (your dissertation research) using exactly 15 PowerPoint slides, which automatically move on every 20 seconds. You should focus mainly on why you chose the topic, how you researched it and what you discovered (if you have reached that stage, what you expect to find if not) - no literature review needed. We realise you may not have finalised your conclusion - this is a chance to discuss your findings and get some feedback before submission.
