Well done, Paula! @PaulaAlcBar
Excited to share @PaulaAlcBar’s @NATECLA article! It argues that teacher identity should be at the heart of professional development, supporting more reflective, inclusive and critically informed ESOL practice. #ESOL #teacherIdentity #CPD #LanguageTeaching community.natecla.org.uk/art…

✍️ "Nos recomendó leer 'Un puente sobre el Drina', una historia que nos dejó fascinados: al estilo de Ivo Andrić, el héroe del relato sería el puente antiguo de Montoro, el testigo de la evolución histórica desde el siglo XV' (La gran novela andaluza). @PlateroEditora

A fantastic week! Thank you all for choosing @UniWestScotland for this #comenius International Study Week. And thanks to Laurence Giaud @LGiraudJ1 and Martin Mullen @irishosaru for putting together such an impressive programme!
The final day of the @UniWestScotland Comenius International Study Week saw the students join other UWS students on a bus tour to Conic Hill, followed by a stop at Inveraray. The weather was fantastic and we even got to see some Highland cows! A super end to a super week.
