We asked ten teachers...
Lisa Stevens
"It has made me think every year and given me new ideas to try out or explore further. And it has afforded me the opportunity to share what I’ve learned with others."
Catherine Cheater
"It has allowed me to see possibilities that I couldn’t have otherwise been introduced to and meet with teachers and presenters from a wide variety of fields. A real chance for inspiration and refreshment!"
Judith Rifeser
"It is important to feel that there are others out there who are just as passionate about language learning and teaching as you are, and encourage you to fulfil your dreams & strive to become the best you can be."
Eva Lamb
"It has been the highlight of my professional calendar for as long as I remember: it's like meeting old friends. It’s like an annual injection of new life!"
René Koglbauer
"The sessions are varied; some explore the topic from a theoretical and (applied) research perspective, others will focus on the practical application in the classroom."
Gareth Cadman
"There are so many good things; seeing people, getting new ideas, picking up nice resources, a free glass of wine, leaving with a smile, having a day off school - where do I start?!"
Liz Black
"It's an opportunity to spend time with enthusiastic people: listening to the keynote speakers and taking notes, participating in the workshops or just chatting over tea and coffee during the breaks."
Rachel Hawkes
"It is an annual immersion in reflection and creativity, the re-awakening of enthusiasm through fresh ideas, the constructive debate about pedagogy, policy and practice."
Kathy Wicksteed
"There is lots of time to catch up with friends as well as taking in the exhibition, high profile talks and widely varying workshops - you always encounter something unexpected."
Anna Lise Gordon
"I love the opportunities for professional development and networking, sharing good practice with like-minded colleagues from different contexts. We can learn so much from one another!"

What last year’s delegates said:
“Very varied and thought provoking. I have finished the 2 days with a very long list of ideas and links to resources to follow up. This should keep me busy for the next year until Language World 2017!”
“As always packed full with super speakers and ideas. It would be unfair to try to pick out favourite sessions, thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Always lovely to meet new people and exchange ideas. Delighted to see so many new young faces. Everyone smiles at each other at Language World!”
“A really excellent and inspirational event as usual. All the primary sessions were useful, practical and slightly overwhelming. Language World is like the Disneyland for language teachers! Merci, Grazie, Gracias, Danke!”
“The conference was excellent, the atmosphere was brilliant and I learnt so much from very experienced and knowledgeable speakers / teachers.”
“Some great sharing of ideas and networking.”
“I really enjoyed every aspect of it, it was great to meet so many like-minded people and I found many of the speakers very inspirational - they have given me a lot of food for thought and lots of practical ideas to try in the classroom.”
