The extensive programme of practical workshops and plenary sessions is designed for all those involved in devising and delivering languages programmes for adults, whether through FE colleges, local authorities, specialist schools and academies, voluntary organisations or private providers.

Key themes of this year’s show include: Adult language learning in the national context – now and in the future; The new professional qualifications for teachers; Exploiting IT, video and TV; and Meeting differing learning needs.

This year’s plenary speakers are Sue Meyer, Director for Programmes and Policy, NIACE and Alwena Lamping, Consultant, languages in adult education. The plenaries will cover current developments in adult education and their impact on current and future language learning.
