The conference gathered more than 130 English language teachers from all levels and sectors in Montenegro to share innovative teaching ideas, concerns, experiences and successes. The focus of ELTAM Day 2016 is on both practical and theoretical ideas which can improve the skills of English language teachers in Montenegro and their understanding of new developments in the field. One of the keynote speakers at the conference was invited an American English Language Fellow, Christopher Hastings.
