We hope you have had fun with students celebrating Halloween and Bonfire Night. In this month's issue you can find two articles: an interesting and practical look at teaching literature using technology andhow to help students learn vocabulary. Well worth reading more on both of these. The British Council organised another Teachers' Day in September, and we were well represented in Madrid, Bilbao and Barcelona. Take a look at the reports from each of the events. We have also included information on a new online course to help you develop different teaching skills. The 2014 Convention in Madrid is under way with lots of preparations and behind the scenes work. Our speakers' coordinators are happy with the proposals that have been coming in. We are pleased to let you know that we have extended the deadline for proposals until November 11th. And finally some information about our regional coordinators, who are doing great work to help local members: Our AC in Álava, Henri Castleberry, would like to remind you: 9th November 1st Alava TESOL-SPAIN Regional Teacher Development Event "Creativity in the Classroom" NClic School, Paseo de las Universidades, 15 Our AC in Galicia, Brandon Morgan, is organising a talk in Santiago de Compostela.

Gerard Mcloughlin & Rebecca Place Editorial Team TESOL-SPAIN Featured Article TECHNOLOGY AND TEACHING LITERATURE: ARE THEY A MATCH? Susana Montero Méndez & María Fernández Agüero This paper presents a practical approach to the teaching of literature in a blended-learning environment for students training to become English as second language (ESL) teachers. We shall provide examples of how prospective language teachers can be encouraged to use different virtual resources such as blogs and forums, with the aim of approaching the world of literature and culture of second language (L2) communities whilst developing their communicative competence in the L2. We also suggest a two-fold kind of assessment for literature-based courses: we will put forward feasible ideas to test both literature and language competence. More Featured Article How can we Help Students Learn the Vocabulary That they are Taught in the class. Nathan Matthews It would be fantastic if students could use all the vocabulary that we taught them. This paper attempts to explore ways in which we can encourage our students to systematically and effectively record their vocabulary that we have taught them in class. Then we ask how we can help learners to transfer this record into their long-term memories so that each item is added to the repertoire of words and phrases that they can understand and, when necessary, use. There will be a description of a system of keeping a class record of vocabulary and ideas for activating this. More Report on British Council Event in Madrid British Council Event "Motivating Teachers" MªAntonia Castro & Silvia Benitez 2014 Convention co-ordinators  Very early in the morning, loaded with posters, information leaflets and full of enthusiasm our Convention Coordinators, MªAntonia and Silvia, together with our Area Coordinator, Kate, and our Vice President, Birgit, prepared the stand where they were going to give out information about TESOL-SPAIN as well as about next year's Convention in Madrid.
