【Event Description】

The EMI Professional Learning Festival brings educators together to share practical ideas, innovative approaches, and future directions for English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI), Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), and multilingual learning. It provides an exceptional platform to reflect on practice, build connections within education sectors, and celebrate the innovation, growth, and successful classroom practices developed by educators in recent years. Sessions will showcase best practices, real-world examples, and practical strategies that support learner engagement and meaningful learning through English, while looking ahead to the next chapter of EMI.
