Work in progress as at 22.4.18!

Thanks so much to so many people who made Saturday 21st April 2018 so special as teachers met together  to share their enthusiasm for  languages and teaching, supported by the generous sponsorship of Sanako and exhibitors and by The Ashcombe School.

We will use this page to share ideas and links.

ICT Conference 2018

Many, many thanks to the speakers who put in so much time and effort to their presentations.  They did not get any financial reward for their appearances, but we hope that they felt ‘appreciated’ by the enthusiasm and the warmth of the delegate response!   We are so grateful to them.
