Conference Presentations

We are extremely grateful to all our speakers for their highly stimulating and engaging presentations. Thanks to them, ECAs 2018 became a space for discussion and reflection on all the work that is done in the field of extracurricular activities, as well as all the varied contributions they make to students, teachers, the academic community and the wider community. We were thrilled to see how engaged everyone was during presentations and discussions, and we hope to have done our bit to help start creating a network of foreign language teaching professionals committed to the implementation of multiple outreach and enhancement activities and projects.
