Convegno Montessori City Life Anteo Milano – 30 Maggio 2026 Un incontro dedicato all’attualità del pensiero di Maria Montessori e al valore di un’educazione centrata sul bambino.  Un’occasione di confronto per insegnanti, educatori, genitori e studenti interessati a una scuola più attenta ai bisogni del bambino e alle sfide educative del presente. LOCANDINA-2026-DEF.pdf A oltre cento anni dalla sua nascita, il pensiero di Maria Montessori continua a essere attuale e oggi riceve finalmente il riconoscimento che merita anche nel sistema scolastico nazionale.  https://www.mim.gov.it/web/guest/-/decreto-ministeriale-n-112-del-6-giugno-2025 Il suo metodo educativo non riguarda soltanto la scuola, ma propone una vera idea di società, fondata sul rispetto, sull’autonomia e sulla crescita armoniosa della persona.  Al centro del metodo Montessori c’è il bambino, considerato protagonista del proprio apprendimento. L’insegnante non impone conoscenze in modo rigido, ma osserva, ac...

The following is the presentation given this morning by Ada Amato , one of the most  active participants of the English for Travel course.                                    H E L S I N K I I have chosen Helsinki, the capital of Finland , for the presentation because it struck me for its order and organization.   I went to Helsinki for a few days last summer to visit the city, naturally visiting its most famous monuments. I've visited other cities in Northern Europe, but Helsinki truly amazed me. I liked Helsinki and this country for its organization, the welfare system, and the tranquillity of the people, both inside and outside.   Finland is part of the Scandinavian Peninsula, borders Russia, and was part of Russia until the early 1900s. Finland' s climate is continental, cold, with very long winters, especially in the north and inland areas of the country, less co...

  I A T E F L   International Association Teachers of English as Foreign Language  Brighton  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYkQvqttw18 Teaching is constantly evolving—and lately, it feels like it’s changing faster than ever. Thanks to new discoveries in neuroscience and educational research, we’re gaining amazing insights into how people really learn. This means we can make our lessons more engaging, interactive, and effective than ever before. In such a fast-moving landscape, keeping our knowledge and skills up to date is essential—especially when teaching English, one of the most widely used languages in the world. As teachers, we’re always learning too, adapting to better support our students and create meaningful learning experiences. Attending this year’s IATEFL conference reminded me why events like this matter so much. It’s more than just a gathering—it’s a space to share ideas, discover new perspectives, build meaningful connections, engage in thoughtf...

AI in Action:  How Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming English Learning Artificial Intelligence is no longer something we imagine for the future — it is already part of our everyday lives, especially in education.  In classrooms around the world, teachers are using AI to plan lessons faster, create engaging activities, and offer more personalized support to their students. At the same time, learners are discovering new, interactive ways to improve their English skills independently. What makes AI truly powerful in education is its ability to adapt. Unlike traditional methods, AI tools can respond to each learner’s pace, level, and interests. This means students are not just following a fixed path — they are experiencing a learning journey tailored to them. If you watch the videos linked below, you’ll see real examples of this transformation in action: teachers using AI to generate ideas, students practicing language skills through smart tools, and classrooms becoming more...
