You can choose to attend any workshop from the 8 Special Interest Groups (eg. Business English, Young Learners, English for special purposes, English and IT, etc)

Workshop presenters are experts in their fields and will travel from Europe and the UK. Workshops are very practical - aiming to give tips and activities so teachers can use them in their next class.

The Plenary Speaker is professor De Jong from the University of Amsterdam. He is in influential figure in connection with language testing in Europe. He will speak on attaining standards in teaching and testing.

People usually come and also have the chance to network and meet other people working as English Teachers. State teachers, private school teachers or even teachers teaching individuals on their own.

Just wanted to add - for those who don't know where Wetzikon is - it's on the way to Rappeswil, about 15/20 mins on the S Bahn from Zurich HB.

Hello Steffanie,

Just wondering if you are somehow connected to the Cambridge Group in Wintertour, or are you an independent group? Missed your last event, but will keep an eye out for further postings...

Caitrin

Hi Caitrin - we are an independent organization with strong links to many schools, publishers and groups around Switzerland, including Cambridge ESOL who had a large stand in our book exhibition on SIG Day. We had close to 300 people turn up and it was a great event.....

Check out our website for regional events (such as Mark Fletcher in Basel) our next biggie is the AGM which will be an entire weekend in Luzern in January (see website for details). We have one of the leading linguists in the world coming to speak at the AGM as well as some of the leading writers and trainers in ELT, the weekend is also a great social with dinner on the Saturday evening.

Hope you can make it!

Hello Moorsholm,
