Tunisia Speaks English

The Conference will take place at Alhambra Thalasso Hotel in Hammamet.
The aim of the conference is to explore current aspects of English, to raise awareness of its importance in Tunisia today and to discuss issues related to its formal teaching and learning within the national education system.
The conference will be an opportunity to bring together all those involved in working with English in Tunisia. It will be delivered by local Tunisian speakers as well as speakers from the United Kingdom, including:
- Pete Sharma, Lecturer and teacher trainer specialised in technology-enhanced language learning
- Jean Wilson, Language in Education consultant, UK
The organizers are interested in discovering how policy makers, experts, teachers, students, and the larger public are shaping the way English is taught, learnt and used in various spheres of life.
