The C group will be collaborating with the Literature, Media and Cultural Studies SIG at their Pre-Conference event at the 2017 IATEFL Conference in Glasgow. (See below for topic details).

This may be of interest to you in one of two ways:

1. You may wish to be there as a participant. We hope many of you who will be going to Glasgow will decide to sign up for this PCE. Announcements will appear in due course on the IATEFL website.

2. Some of you may also wish to present a session at this event, especially if film studies is one of your interests or if you have worked on film with your students. Sessions will be 30 minutes each. Presenters will have their PCE fee waived and be eligible for one-night's accommodation. We have 3 slots reserved for the C Group. If you would like to apply, please send a 150 word abstract of your proposal, plus a brief CV (100 words) to Chris Lima
chrislima90@yahoo.co.uk, with a copy to Alan Maley yelamoo@yahoo.co.uk and Nick Bilbroughnickbilbrough@yahoo.co.uk. Ideally, this should reach us by 7 June 2016.
