• Title: NATECLA North West Online Forum: AI in ESOL : getting the balance right

• Date: 14 May 2026

• Time: 16:00- 17:00

• Presenters: Eve Sheppard and Laura Wiggin

  Join our free online NATECLA North West Forum for ESOL practitioners - a relaxed, supportive space to connect with others, share ideas, and build a stronger regional voice together.

  Branch chairs will share practical ways AI can support adaptive teaching and personalised learning. We’ll also explore how to balance AI use with professional expertise for effective classroom practice.  

  This is followed by an “Ideas Room” — a structured, collaborative space to bring your own questions, share experiences, and explore common challenges with colleagues. Come with ideas, or just listen and reflect.

  Finally, we’ll invite your ideas on future branch activities and share ways to get involved.
