GenAI, sustainability and integrated learning and assessment (ILA) were just some of the big topics discussed at a recent event for English teachers and educational leaders in Dublin. The ��ݮ��Ƶ Day Dublin was organised by ��ݮ��Ƶ & Assessment and brought together school leaders, exam centre managers and English teachers from across Ireland.

The event provided a fantastic opportunity to hear some of the latest thinking on the big topics facing the sector.

“English teachers in Ireland play a pivotal role in inspiring and empowering learners to achieve their goals,” said Joel Cutting, Country Manager for the UK & Ireland at ��ݮ��Ƶ. He continued: “Teachers face challenges such as integrating sustainability into lessons, navigating new technologies like AI, and balancing learning with effective assessment strategies. At ��ݮ��Ƶ, we’re committed to supporting educators every step of the way, providing them with innovative resources, expert insights, and a comprehensive approach to teaching and assessment.”

Jasmin Silver, an Education Consultant and Researcher, explored AI in Language Learning in her talk “Can AI Help Us Solve Age-Old Problems in Teaching and Learning?”, sharing practical AI tools and examples teachers can apply directly in their classrooms.
