Training

We provide training to support interdisciplinary educational research that is methodologically careful and grounded in practice. We attend to feasibility, context, and responsible interpretation of evidence.

Our training serves teachers, MA/PhD students, and early career researchers. Mode of delivery varies by call. Each offering has a defined focus and supports progress in research design, analysis decisions, and academic writing.

We offer three main types of training:

Research workshops

These are hands-on sessions focused on specific parts of the research process—for example, refining research questions, selecting methods that fit the question, planning data collection, and working through analysis choices. Where relevant, we also discuss research ethics and the practical constraints that shape design decisions in real educational contexts.

Writing retreat sessions

Writing retreats provide structured time to draft, revise, and plan next steps. We usually combine focused writing blocks with light facilitation (goal-setting, brief check-ins, and optional peer feedback). The aim is to support steady writing progress and clearer argumentation, whether participants are working on articles, theses/dissertations, proposals, or practitioner-facing outputs.

Topic-based seminars/webinars

These sessions focus on a defined theme in language education and teacher development (e.g., teacher identity and agency, professional learning, technology and AI in education, or policy–practice tensions). We treat these as discussion-oriented learning spaces: a way to clarify concepts, connect ideas across disciplines, and consider what a topic means for research and practice.

We post calls for upcoming training opportunities on this website. Each call will specify the intended audience, format (online/in-person/hybrid), dates, expectations for participation, and registration details.
