Workshops
The Languages Connect Summit presented delegates with an unmissable opportunity for professional development. Attendees chose from over fifty workshops, exploring topics ranging from promoting learner engagement, interrogating new teaching methodologies, to investigating new technologies and their in-class application. Classroom inclusion, accessibility for a wider diversity of learners, and cultural awareness were also addressed.
