Be the change. Leading the Future of Language Education

Descrizione

Why do we teach language?

Not simply to prepare students for an exam. Not only to develop accuracy or fluency. But to help people connect. To help them find their voice. To give them the confidence to participate in the world with curiosity, empathy, and purpose. In a time shaped by constant change, digital overload, and growing uncertainty about the role of technology and artificial intelligence in education, teachers are asking deeper questions about meaning, identity, and human connection in the classroom.

Trinity Days 2026 was created in response to those questions. This year’s event is more than professional development. It is a moment to reconnect with what truly matters in education: relationships, authentic communication, and the power of learning to transform lives.
At the heart of Trinity College London’s vision has always been one essential belief: language exists to communicate in the real world. Real-world communication is not simply part of what we do – it is our DNA. It is the reason Trinity exams value interaction, spontaneity, collaboration, and the confidence to express ideas with authenticity.

Through inspiring talks, shared experiences, and practical classroom perspectives, participants will explore how English language education can continue to evolve while remaining profoundly human. Together, we will reflect on how to equip learners not only with language skills, but with the courage to think critically, collaborate meaningfully, adapt confidently, and engage with the world as active citizens.

Trinity Days 2026 is an invitation to every teacher who still believes that education is not only about keeping up with change, but about shaping it together.

PROGRAMME
8.30-9.15 Accoglienza e incontro con il Team

9.15-10.45 Sessione plenaria:
Quali sono le prospettive per il futuro della didattica della lingua inglese in un mondo caratterizzato dalla presenza sempre più diffusa dell'Intelligenza Artificiale?
L'intervento dei keynote speaker della sessione plenaria cercherà di dare risposta a questa domanda, concentrandosi sulle evoluzioni dell'offerta Trinity nel contesto dei profondi cambiamenti, anche legati alla presenza sempre più diffusa dell'IA, che stanno interessando l'assessment, la didattica e l'apprendimento delle lingue.

10.45-11.30 Coffee Break

11.30-13.00 Workshop:
Come funziona una determinata attività didattica e come si può adattare a seconda del contesto, dell'età degli studenti o del loro livello?
Durante la sessione, guidata dai membri del Team accademico, i partecipanti potranno condividere idee e 'toccare con mano' come aiutare gli studenti a sviluppare in modo spontaneo le competenze linguistiche reali e la learner agency alla base degli esami Trinity e della capacità di comunicare in modo efficace.
