Improving professional competencies and empowering teachers in using state-of-the-art technology

The “EngLife” project helped improve English language teachers’ professional competencies and empowered teachers in using state-of-the-art technology, namely resources that students know about and find interesting. Teachers are encouraged to share the knowledge they acquired in this project with their colleagues, thus creating a community of competent teachers united by a common goal – to make classes as rich in content, interactive and purposeful as possible.
