This spring, Anglistikos akademija was visited by three Vilnius schools: Vilniaus Tuskulėnų gimnazija (04.30), Vilniaus Vytauto Didžiojo gimnazija (05.08), and Vilniaus Pilaitės gimnazija (05.22), inviting pupils to explore the many worlds that English Studies can open.
Together, we explored how language meets music through rhythm and sound, how metaphors shape our understanding of school and ourselves, how artificial intelligence enters literary writing and translation, how gaming becomes a gateway into language and culture, how to approach academic writing successfully, where emotions reside - in language or the body - and why dystopian worlds often feel unexpectedly familiar.
These meetings once again reminded us how rich and interdisciplinary English Studies truly are: language, literature, culture, technology, emotions, creativity, and critical thinking all come together in one shared space of curiosity and discovery.
A sincere thank you to the schools, teachers, pupils, and colleagues who made these meetings possible. It is always a privilege to share what we love and to see new questions, ideas, and plans for the future emerge.
