“Can We Still Humanise Language Teaching?”
📅 Sunday, 28 September 2025 | 17:00 Greek Time | 15:00 UK Time
TESOL MTH/NG warmly invites colleagues near and far to join the Welcome Back Day Conference, an event dedicated to honouring the memory of Mario Rinvolucri, whose work and spirit have shaped generations of teachers worldwide.
This online gathering will not only celebrate Mario’s legacy but also open the floor to heartfelt reflections and practical insights on humanising English language teaching.
