We are going live in three, two, one…

After two years of online workshops, we are excited to have you with us once again! We invite you to take the opportunity to pause and reflect on all the year that is behind us, and to face the year that is to come with a fresh perspective.

Apart from the traditional workshops that our brilliant English teachers, elt experts, textbook authors and creative geniuses have in store for you, we bring you something different as well! As Christmas is a time for sharing, we invite you to join the discussion and take part in our programme, too. Is there a project you have particularly enjoyed doing this year, or have you found an activity that makes even the least interested students want to join in? Apply to our TeachMeet session and tell us all about it!

Join us for a cup of tea and a chat and let us kindle your Christmas spirit at the 7 Annual Christmas elt meeting!

Share your expertise and experiences with us! Follow this link to apply for our TeachMeet session. The number of participants is limited.
