English in action
Paul Gibson talks about About English in Action
English in Action (EiA) www.englishinaction.com is a UK-based organisation specialising in immersive, in-school English language courses across Europe. With over 30 years of experience, we bring native-level English-speaking teachers directly into schools, offering interactive, project-based learning that builds students’ confidence and fluency.
Innovations & Benefits
EiA provides engaging, real-world language experiences through our intensive, one-week courses. Our project-based approach encourages collaboration, creativity, and communication, ensuring students develop practical English skills that go beyond textbooks. For teachers, our courses offer fresh methodologies and ideas that they can integrate into their own lessons.
Why the P.A.R.K. Conference?
We believe in connecting with passionate educators, sharing best practices, and showcasing how EiA can support schools in delivering high-quality English language education. The P.A.R.K. Conference is a fantastic platform to engage with teachers who are committed to making language learning more dynamic and effective
Challenges Teachers Face & How EiA Helps
Many English teachers struggle with getting students to speak confidently, particularly in non-English-speaking environments. EiA creates an immersive English-only setting, helping learners overcome hesitation and develop fluency through engaging, structured activities.
A Success Story
Many of our long-term partner schools throughout Europe have reported that, after just one EiA course, students showed a noticeable improvement in their speaking confidence. Teachers have noted that the enthusiasm generated during the courses have carried over into their regular lessons, making students more engaged and motivated.
Future ELT Trends
- Fluency over accuracy – Schools are increasingly recognising the need to prioritise real-world communication skills over grammatical perfection.
- Experiential learning – Learning through projects, roleplays, and simulations is becoming more central to ELT.
- Hybrid & flexible learning – While in-person courses remain essential, blended approaches are growing in demand.
SOL Working in Partnership with English in Action
We’re excited to announce our new collaboration with SOL (Sharing One Language), a UK-based organisation committed to supporting English teaching and learning across Central and Eastern Europe. SOL specialises in immersive English courses that promote cross-cultural understanding and language development, and through this partnership, we’re making English learning more accessible than ever.
This partnership aligns perfectly with our mission at English in Action—to bring engaging, real-world English learning experiences directly into schools, equipping students with the confidence and communication skills they need for the future.
We look forward to discussing how EiA and SOL can support schools and teachers at the P.A.R.K. Conference.
