2023 PronSIG Classroom Research Scholarship
PronSIG is all about developing high-quality, evidence-based pronunciation practice for the modern world. With this in mind, our 2023 IATEFL scholarship aims to extend our understanding of the little-researched area of reading and pronunciation!
What we want:
We are asking for classroom-based action research proposals to expand the knowledge we have about pronunciation teaching and learners’ reading abilities. The word ‘research’ can seem scary, but classroom-based action research is a simple and effective thing for any teacher to do as part of our CPD.
You’ll get support and mentoring to undertake a simple action research project for your idea or activities and to write an article to publish the findings in PronSIG’s journal, Speak Out!
What you’ll need:
- An idea or activities which use pronunciation to help learners’ reading skills.
- A classroom setting where you can complete your action research.
- Time and motivation to run a short action research project.
- An interest in pronunciation and reading skills!
The award consists of:
- Registration for the PronSIG Pre-Conference event
- Registration for the IATEFL annual conference
- GBP 1000.00 towards conference related costs
- Support and mentoring to plan and complete your classroom-based action research project
- Support and mentoring to publish your findings in PronSIG’s biannual journal Speak Out!
To be considered you must submit:
- A research proposal using the PronSIG Classroom Research Scholarship Application Template (When you are ready to apply go to your IATEFL dashboard and click on Scholarships).
The submission deadline is 16.00 (UK time) on Thursday 23 June 2022. Early submissions are very welcome; late submissions will not be considered.
The result of your application will be emailed to you between 13 and 27 August 2022. Please do NOT contact the IATEFL Head Office about scholarship decisions; the Scholarship Committee will send everyone the results as soon as they are available.
