Language as a Bridge: Connecting Educational Professionals through English

In today’s interconnected world, English continues to play a vital role in bridging communication gaps between people of different nationalities. It serves as a common language across a variety of domains, including business, academia, technology, fashion, and more. To foster these global connections, a group of educators from various countries came together to participate in the "English Connect: Intensive Course for Educational Professionals."
​
The new edition of the course took place in Tenerife from 08/06/2025 to 14/06/2025. We had the pleasure to welcome a group composed by Heli Lank and Marika Ristmäe, from Häädemeeste Secondary School, in Estonia; with Justine Cezard and Julie Mathy, from Collège Jean Mermoz, in France; with Ariane Forot, from Lycée Alain Borne, in France; with Kocsis-Kőszegvári Erika, from Fehérlófia Waldorf Óvoda és Iskola, in Hungary; and Guillaume VIDOT, from LPO Rostand, in France.

Throughout the week, participants worked intensively to enhance their speaking, listening, reading, writing, and grammar skills. They participated in interactive lessons that focused on real-life communication, including grammar practice on tenses, phrasal verbs, and adverbs, as well as engaging in activities such as role-plays, interviews, and group discussions. Topics covered included daily routines, travel, hobbies, and future plans, all designed to build confidence and fluency.

The course also included two guided tours of Puerto de la Cruz, providing an opportunity to practice English in a cultural context, as well as group meals at local Canarian restaurants.
By the end of the week, the participants had not only improved their language skills but also formed valuable international connections, creating a positive and supportive learning environment. It was an exceptionally productive week. We hope they maintain this positive attitude in their continued English studies and cherish the multicultural environment they successfully established within just one week.
