In addition to our face-to-face events, which take place throughout the year, IATEFL BESIG is very active online, organizing a full programme of webinars, workshops, and other online events on a wide range of topics every year. In an effort to reach as wide an audience as possible, and to fulfil IATEFL’s charitable mandate, some of these events are open and free to everyone.
The events are organised by the IATEFL BESIG Online Team (BOT), often in partnership with other teaching associations from around the world.
Upcoming and recent events are listed below. An archive of past online events is available for members in the Resources Area.
Coming up soon
Join us for an intimate, online fireside chat with two recent recipients of our IATEFL BESIG Travel Grant as they reflect on their journeys to the 14th ELT Malta Conference and 42nd ETAS Annual Conference, respectively. We will talk about how our Travel Grant supports members to travel to international conferences, expanding professional networks and gaining fresh inspiration for their work.
Aside from the personal experiences of our Travel Grant winners, you will learn how you can apply for such a grant and what the requirements are. Grab a beverage of your choice, settle in, and join us for an engaging discussion about opportunity, growth, and the power of our business English community.

Monthly Break Room Meetups
Need a break? Well, slip on your slippers, grab a coffee or tea, get a donut and slip on into the Break Room – everyone is welcome!
The idea is to provide a platform where both can meet up informally, and have a chat. A great chance to catch up with IATEFL BESIG friends and make new ones.
Last Wednesday of the month at 18:00 UK time
