SUMMARY:Working with Language at the Point of Need
DESCRIPTION:In-person Workshop  \n When: June 20\, 2026 \n Time: 3 p.m.-6 p.m. (Coffee & cake from 2:30 p.m.) \n Where: Rosenkavalierplatz 16\, Arabella Park U-Bahn \nFocusing on the classroom as a space for skilled improvisation\, the workshop shows how teachers can work with learners’ language as it emerges in real time.
