Teaching #ESOL means dealing with the impact of #trauma. Explore 💬 the insights of ESOL teachers in #Wales 💬 our model for supporting adult learners who have experienced trauma in our article with Dr Gabriel Roberts @drgjroberts #ELT #Refugees 🔗 https://t.co/8t2LeMgcNf

Working with #ESOL students is a true privilege. It's not just about grammar. It's about sharing pain and finding peace. This #RefugeeWeek, meet Sulaf who finds comfort in poetry. Step into the world of refugees through her book of poems we made at @coleggwent. Feel the longing.

✨A big day for ESOL in Wales! ✨ I vividly remember how #trauma took control of my life and my first encounter with trauma in the ESOL classroom. So proud of @acehubwales for driving forward the conversation on trauma-informed ESOL classrooms. 🔗Report https://t.co/yxgatFutMc

A fantastic day at the Traumatic Stress Wales conference @StressWales Insightful, thought-provoking presentations and workshops. Inspiring conversations with people deeply passionate about #trauma. Great to see the collective drive to create a trauma-informed Wales

'Go Home Polish' I rarely read, but this book won my heart at the first sight. Two blocks in one cover - a photostory and collection of stories from the author's walk from Cardiff to Poland, asking people about #HOME Thank you, @iwanowski77, for sharing this treasure with me 📖

Such a lovely feeling to love what you do . Teaching #ESOL at @coleggwent while doing a PhD on ESOL and #trauma at @cardiffmet feels like two beautiful realities coming together to create a little heaven on Earth Happy Teachers' Day! May your work be rewarding and joyful!

So much wisdom in these words, @yusufciftci42 👏👏👏

Proud of my supervisor's nomination at @cardiffmet 🌟 I am who I am today because of him. He brought light and believed in me during my darkest days when I felt I was nothing. Not only passionate, knowledgeable, and supportive, but also truly inspiring! Thank you, @drgjroberts 🌟

Had a privilege to introduce my research at today's @cardiffmet Doctoral Research Conference 2024. It was inspiring to hear so many innovative ideas from fellow researchers. #ethics #refugee #trauma #ESOL #ResearchConference

@lora_agbaso @NATECLA Always amazing. I love everything you've taught me.

Start of the workshop: Me: ' I have nothing to say.' A few minutes later: Me: I wish this workshop would never end.' Thank you so much to everyone who attended for sharing your thoughts, ideas, and passion. Special thanks to @NATECLA for this beautiful event #NATECLA24 #ESOL

The hardest part of teaching #ESOL is saying goodbye to students who became like your family. From seeing them shy in September to watching them make friends, share sadness and joy, discover, explore, and learn to believe in themselves 💫

🧡In the middle of #RefugeeWeek we'd like to share this: Informed by lived experience, @lora_agbaso will focus on impact of trauma on second language learning and supporting learners who experienced traumatic events. @coleggwent More about #NATECLA24- https://t.co/6DbOdiWjYU🧡

Excited to start #RefugeeWeek by delivering a special online language lesson. What a way to step into the shoes of #ESOL learners to experience learning a new language, followed by a discussion. Thank you to everyone who joined and to @WalesSMP for organising the event.

Today marks 10 years since we started our life in Wales. A decade of - war and peace, - grief and joy, - longing and belonging leaving side by side. We've met wonderful people and faced challenges. We're forever grateful to Wales for becoming our home🙏🙏🙏

Delighted to present "Being Ethical in Researching Trauma in the Refugee Context: Is That Real?" at #MethodsFair2024. Posters, presentations, workshops, networking 👏👏👏 Thank you to the amazing event organisers @methodsMcr #trauma #ESOL #Refugee

Delighted to be back at the Language and Trauma workshop again to speak about #trauma and #LanguageLearning, and connect with colleagues from around the world. Big thanks to @jupurkarthofer and Brigitta Busch for making this happen. #ESOL #storytelling #Refugees

Something truly special in the air at the @acehubwales conference - perhaps a mix of passion and inspiration to make Wales #trauma-informed And incredible energy from meeting @Martine_Smith76 who is doing incredible work with communities.

Truly amazing day at @acehubwales conference filled with the passion to make Wales trauma-informed. Inspiring conversations and collective dedication towards positive change ✨ #Trauma
