Then Agnieszka Golenia, the headmaster of Liceum Ogólnokształcące im.

"Flexing Education: Dynamic Language Learning for an Uncertain Future” this is what Maria Rahamägi, Maria Rahamägi, Founder of Edumus School and also a TEDx speaker, will talk about at our conference for English teachers (grades 7 and 8 and secondary).

In an increasingly uncertain future, general education must embrace flexibility and dynamism. Language learning, too, is evolving by shifting focus from high-level grammar to topic-based proficiency. By immersing students in relevant subjects, we create a win-win situation, enhancing learning efficiency and preparing students for tomorrow's challenges. Join us to explore how this transformative approach revolutionises teaching and empowers learners.

In this context, improving the digital competences of teachers teaching English to teenagers is crucial.

We invite you to hear how this transformative approach is revolutionizing teaching and empowering students, and to join our sessions and workshops.

On June 15, we invite you to the Erasmus+ EngLife: Teaching English for the Future conference in Warsaw.

Participation is free.

We encourage you to register and share this information with your network as widely as possible.
