Dear friends, dear colleagues,

We wish you a happy, healthy and fulfilling new year!

Please see below a call to an exciting new initiative focused on language teachers, which kicks off on 24 January at 17:00 CET.

CercleS News - Introducing the Teachers' Meetup!

Calling all language teachers!

We are thrilled to announce our first Teachers’ Meetup, which will be held on 24 January 2023 at 17:00 CET. Following up on some ideas raised at the CercleS Conference in Porto, we will be launching what we hope will be a series of regular monthly teacher get-togethers via Zoom.

The sessions will be organised around breakout-rooms where teachers of a specific (target) language will be able to talk about the specific issues concerning its teaching. For our first meeting, we will have breakout rooms for teachers of English, French, Spanish, Italian, German and Swedish, and we are happy to expand the offering if needed. It will not be necessary to speak English or any other language than the one you teach to take part in these sessions.

Please see more detailed information and calls in English, French, Spanish, Italian, German and Swedish. We hope to see you at this meetup – and future ones!

31 Jan 17:00-18:00 CET
