The YELL2 UK workshop took place at Nottingham University on Friday 28th June and was attended by a total of 22 delegates.

The day comprised of a number of ‘hands-on’ activities designed to engage language learners in innovative ways, supported by three guest speakers offering alternative and inspiring approaches of their own.

The keynote speaker for the day was Steven Fawkes, presenting in his trademark enthusiastic and inspiring manner to provide the workshop with a meaningful context in relation to the evolving state of MFL teaching and learning.
