This year's theme is English outdoors. What's in store?

Week 1 

English in practice 

Don't be afraid to go outside and connect movement with the real world – children speak not because they have to, but because they are doing something (not because they are learning something).

Week 2 

Grammar outdoors

Grammar doesn't have to be boring. How to connect language with children's lives, get it moving and fill it with playfulness and joy.

Week 3 

Reading and writing

Working with text in the field, describing lived experiences, connecting language with reality.

Week 4 

CLIL – English across subjects

Language as a tool, not a goal. How to naturally integrate it into everyday teaching of natural sciences and other subjects.
