This year's Iatefl is held in Glasgow. So many things to do at the conference; plenary sessions, almost 22 parallel sessions at all times, poster sessions, two interactive language fairs, evening events, special interest group sessions, and the exhibition. With all of these going on, I definitely had to select carefully what to attend since you cannot do all. My Iatefl 2017 journey began when I prepared a proposal for presentation and having it accepted. The title of my presentation was: Planning Electronic Units by Students of Education. It was presented at the Interactive Language Fair.  |

April 3, 2017: The pre-conference event PCE I selected was titled Teacher Professional Development. It was led by 5 exemplary presenters namely Silvana Richardosn who is an advocate of developing professional development frameworks that are teacher-led and lead to teacher autonomy. She emphasizes action research in the classroom that is conducted by the teacher.
