About the event:

The Adult Education Languages Show is the ideal forum to share ideas and gather new information. What constitutes quality language learning? What new resources are available? How can we ensure that we deliver engaging, effective and exciting teaching?

The plenaries and workshop sessions will give an overview of key policies, reports and inititatives while practical, hands-on sessions will result in new ideas and new resources for teaching. This is a not to be missed opportunity for all teachers and managers involved in adult education.

There will be three plenaries in the morning of which participants choose one. A wide choice of sessions will be offered, catering for management issues as well as classroom practice and applicable to a range of languages.
