APAVAC: Fwd: English in Spain newsletter

Benvinguts al Vostre Blog

Hem pensat que era hora d’unir-nos tots els que ens dediquem a ensenyar ANGLÉS professionalment. L’objectiu és que puguem intercanviar experiències i materials i formar-nos. Volem convertir-nos en un punt de trobada dels professionals de l’anglés i organitzar jornades, xarrades i seminaris. Volem ser la veu dels professionals de l'anglés i col·laborar amb tots els relacionats amb l'anglés i amb l'administració educativa i que se’ns tinga en compte com a interlocutors a l'hora de prendre decisions.

An association to unite us all who teach English professionally has been created. The aim is to share experiences, exchange materials and encourage further training with conferences, lectures and debates and ultimately become the voice of teachers of English and liaise with all those involved and especially with our educational authority.

Working with teachers in Spain

October 2013

Hi Everyone

First of all, a huge thank you to all who came to our "Motivating Learning" conferences in Barcelona, Bilbao. Madrid & Valencia. It was great to see so much enthusiasm and share so many great ideas on a Saturday morning! If you missed the conferences you can get a taste of the events here with sessions from Carol Read, Samantha Lewis and John Liddy ... amongst others. (And good luck to GRETA with their convention later this month too!)

Hope you treated yourself a little on "World Teachers Day" last Saturday! .
