Začiatkom mája sa v Nitre konala ďalšia z radu konferencií organizovaných Slovak Ventures v spolupráci s vydavateľstvom Pearson.

Témou konferencie boli nové tituly vydavateľstva Pearson a nové trendy vo výučbe anglického jazyka, ktoré predstavil uznávaný lektor Phil Warwick. Phil do svojej prezentácie zakomponoval okrem nových titulov aj nové formy interaktívnej výučby, ktoré by pomohli učiteľom pri vytváraní pútavých hodín. V druhej časti konferencie predstavila naša odborná konzultantka Danka Kecskésová MyEnglishLab, ktorý umožňuje komunikáciu medzi učiteľom a študentmi a výučbu angličtiny v online prostredí. Tiež predstavila učebnicu Speakout, ktorá sa stala učebnicou roka 2011 a je vytvorená špeciálne pre výučbu angličtiny pre dospelých.
