About the Conference

After the launch of the Greek English for Young Learners project, in 2010, major developments have taken place in the area of Early Language Learning (ELL) in Greece. The purpose of this conference is, therefore, to share our experience with others, to disseminate to a local and international audience EYL project results, to discuss in view of acquired expertise issues connected with multilingualism, with teaching and assessing young learners, as well as to propose innovative ways of teacher training and professional development. The working language is English. Those interested in attending the conference, please see the Terms of Participation and register here.
