Pecha Kucha ELT

In 2008 the IATEFL conference at Exeter was the site for the first international English Language Teaching Pecha Kucha event. The event was organised by Lindsay Clandfield and quickly became the buzz of the conference. At the end of the event a challenge was issued to other conference organisers to do something similar to "spice up" their own conferences.

There are possibilities for Pecha Kucha also within ELT teaching and training, and materials for Pecha Kucha have since appeared. This site was set up to provide information about the Pecha Kucha phenomenon for teachers, trainers and conference organisers interested in trying it out.
