It's #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek! We know that developing strong language skills isn't just about communication - it's also about building confidence, resilience, and wellbeing in young people. Our trainees are learning how to create supportive, inclusive, and engaging classroom environments, helping children feel heard, valued, and empowered every day. This week, we celebrate the importance of children's mental health and the role teachers play in nurturing happy, confident learners. #LanguageTeaching #TeacherTraining
