Our PD presentations, scheduled on Tuesdays (1pm-2pm) and Fridays (3pm-4pm) focus on a variety of topics through different formats for language educators at all levels. Join us to gain deeper insights into ongoing trends in teaching methodology and to exchange resources and ideas in an engaging atmosphere!
