Workgroup 9 debate
History lessons should not be banned from schools. While some argue that not everyone will use history and find it boring, learning from the past is important. History teaches us about important events and how societies developed. It also helps prevent the repetition of past mistakes. While different countries teach history from their own perspectives, conflicts between perspectives are not a reason to ban the subject altogether. Studying history helps people understand their culture and roots as well as develop a sense of right and wrong.
Workgroup 8 debate
English should not be used as the main language of instruction in all European schools according to Workgroup 8. Their arguments against this include:
1) Students may neglect their mother tongue and national culture/traditions if they switch primarily to English. This could endanger their cultural heritage over time.
2) Starting in early education, learning the history and culture of one's home country is important for cultural continuity. Using English primarily could cause students to neglect their own history and culture.
3) Students may become superficial and only interested in foreign cultures taught in English, neglecting their own national culture as a result. This endangers the extinction of their cultural heritage.

It suggests materials could better engage learners by incorporating flexibility, relevant content, and a focus on language development rather than predetermined inputs. Developers and teachers should consider user feedback and apply learning principles to improve materials.
