ERL Association gives me an opportunity to get together with people that connect language in education in various perspectives.
Regarding my profession, I understand ´educational role of language´as a language of instruction. Language in education is at the same time a key and crucial instrument that enables approaching children/pupils/learners/people to share anything they need.
I would like to become a valuable partner and belong to a professional or academic community.
Disciplinary literacy, content through language and language through content (CLIL), mindfulness in language education.
