The talk will introduce English teachers to what secondary research is and how secondary research can provide the latest and more robust evidence for innovative ELT methodologies.

The online repository will also share examples of infographic summaries of secondary research in TESOL and how teachers can make use of the infographics to inform their practice. The talk concludes by presenting plans for expanding the online repository by including new features e.g., a discussion forum for teachers to share experiences implementing pedagogical innovations based on synthesised findings, podcasts interviewing teachers and researchers regarding research-practice dialogues.
