The Department of English Language Pedagogy, Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), and the International Association for Intercultural Education (IAIE) invite you to submit proposals to their 2025 Conference.

Language learning, multilingualism, translation and intercultural competence are foundational for equitable and inclusive schools and teacher education. Educators must adopt innovative teaching methods to cater to diverse learners, including minorities and disadvantaged students. Media literacy and technology play pivotal roles in navigating the digital landscape, while addressing global issues like sustainability and peace empowers learners to effect positive change. The conference aims to facilitate collaboration among researchers and practitioners, fostering dialogue on these critical topics to advance equitable and inclusive education worldwide. Through collaborative inquiry and knowledge exchange, participants will learn about research results and explore innovative approaches to education that promote social justice, democracy, equity, and belonging for all.

For more information and the call for proposals visit the conference website.

Originally known as the “DELP Yelpers”, our group began life back in the mid “noughties”: within the newly-formed Department, we discovered that there were several of us who loved singing but were too busy to join a regular choir. (We also find that a quick sing at lunchtime wakes us up for afternoon lessons!) As a group, it has always been a staff department initiative in and of itself. In the early days, there were only five or six of us, but more recently, numbers of grown, and we are now a group of 12 people, covering more comfortably the SATB roles (soprano, alto, tenor & bass). In 2023, and to include a member from another nearby department, we also renamed ourselves “The SEAS Singers”.

Our repertoire ranges from Willaert to Willcocks, via Tallis, Purcell and the Beatles. We sing in English, French, Spanish, Italian, German and Latin – and have yet to sing in Hungarian. The group sings at various small scale departmental and institutional events, which have included celebrations for staff promotions, “big” birthdays, or PhD defences. We also consider ourselves a key component of the annual DLEP / SEAS Christmas party!
