The Glasgow Online Live Channel is open from 9am to 5pm with regular live interviews which are recorded, including all the plenaries, so they can be viewed around the clock by people who missed them the first time round. I was able to catch a part of the fascinating interview with Chia Suan this morning, who was talking about how her attitudes changed towards English as a Lingua Franca, and you can view it if you click on the link here.
Below you can see an image of Chia describing her feelings about ELF and how doing research on this subject changed her original views. Watch the excellent video interview to find out more!
You can also read about Chia Suan's views on English as a Lingua Franca in this interesting blog post where she plays Devil's Advocate Vs Vicki Hollet.I missed the live interview with Nik Peachey, one of my Tech Gurus, so I have embedded it below for me to view at leisure. In the interview, Nik Peachey outlines his views on the way forward for schools to integrate technology.

Tonight in Glasgow, there's a Karaoke evening for IATEFL conference-goers with a free drink on entry! Hope to hear all about it via Twitter, which is where I guess all the @iatefl online action is, and so I am heading there right now!!

Hi Yulia
How wonderful to read your comment here! I hope you have a fabulous time in Glasgow! I still remember your super presentation in Rome in 2010, and learned so much from you.
Enjoy the Adrian Underhill plenary. I am sure it will be fantastic.
Take care!
Janet
Have you seen any pics yet?
I'm still hoping :-)
Hi Elizabeth Anne
The only pics en masse I have seen so far are from the IATEFL media photo site, link below.

I have seen some on Twitter, but I am not sure if anyone is "curating" all the miscellaneous images from people who attended the conference. I'll keep a look out and then post a link on my blog!
All the best
J :-))
