AI in ELT: from theory to practice
Friday 19 September 2025
Cavendish Venues - 1 America Square | in person
On Friday 19 September 2025, we held a one-day workshop designed for ELT academic managers. This practical session explored how AI can be used responsibly in both day-to-day administrative tasks and classroom settings.
Alongside expert guidance and real-world examples, delegates got hands-on and created their own AI-enhanced resource or tool, ensuring the day was not only informative but immediately applicable.
