The goal of Passages: the 3rd HUPE Conference is to bring English language teaching educators together to exchange ideas, promote effective teaching and learning strategies, and stimulate reflection and discussion.
HUPE, the Croatian Association of Teachers of English, founded in 1992, is a non-profit association whose aims are to promote professionalism among teachers of English and encourage contact among people interested in English language teaching in Croatia.
The Conference will be held in the
Hotel Soline Brela, one of the most beautiful resorts on the Croatian
Adriatic, set on a long pebble beach in the midst of pine woods, only 50 km
from the City of Split. Teachers from Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina,
and Western and Eastern Europe will meet to share ideas and experiences.

We are celebrating many passages with this convocation:
- Croatia's passage to independence
- sea passages between the jewels of the Dalmatian islands and the coast
- passage of students and teachers from timid explorers of the English
language to confident and creative language-makers.
During the conference we can explore strands of coastal beach and the
passages of the old
City of Split, a living architectural history built within the
Roman Diocletian's Palace.
We can celebrate with passages of words and music, with laughter and theatrics.
We also have hopes, that war will pass to peace, that the refugees who crowd Croatia can return home, and that teachers of Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina who have been separated by war and destruction can come together again.
We invite anyone interested in English language teaching to join us. We are particularly interested in discussing the Matura, the graduation thesis and examination taken by
Croatian secondary school seniors. Anyone with insights into evaluating English language proficiency at this level is urgently requested to participate.
Another of the conference themes is musical passages. In addition to presentations on using music in English language teaching, students of the I Gimnazia in Split will present some excerpts from The musical Oliver, by Lionel
Bart. This was originally jointly produced by students from Dover,
England and Split.
