I APAVAC Conference

The English Teachers Association for Valencia , Alacant &  Castelló APAVAC after almost 20 months of being there are holding our first conference in October this year.
The Conference will  not only be a place where we  get together, share experiences and get in-depth knowledge of the latest trends of Languages acquisition  but will also be a showcase for all concerned to see how well the teachers of English get organised and how eager we are to learn and become better professionals.
Bear in mind that this conference is only possible thanks to membership fees and the generosity and effort of many.

You can also contribute by becoming a member.

How to join the conference:

You have to register in advance although anyone who is an ET can attend  registration will give you  priority.

APAVAC MEMBERSHIP

Dear members&membars;at  both our  AGM (Annual General Meeting) in Valencia and the Alicante meeting the need to find a new formula for membership  paying arose. We are looking for a user friendly  way both for members and our treasurer.

There is a suggestion to pay annually by standing order (recibo domiciliado) but that takes a bit of effort from our present and future associates as you will have to instruct your bank..etc. We are in touch with our man in CRM (Miguel Olmo)  to find a formula unfussy enough for everyone .

Currently wire transfers (transferencias) are being used  but it seems that some find this  clumsy and inconvenient.

Of course if you have any ideas please don't hesitate to contact us as we are really only poor ignorant English teachers who just about stumble to keep this organisation together. 

PS: Shortly we will let you know about our First APAVAC conference 14-15 october.

more wothwhile links

Ann Foreman, ICT coordinator at  British Council in Bilbao area and a friend of APAVAC made the document below available to EFL teachers. The first link is the version shared through  Google documents where attitudes&involvement towards ITCs are discussed. The second link is the same document as a PREZI presentation,that is a very dynamic and original new way of sharing documents. 


Our third link is a blog hosted by a Brazilian EFL teacher, Cecilia Lemos Coelho,  recommended by the aforementioned Anne Foreman. It is brimming with enthusiasm and covers her discovery of ITCs and E-Learning as well as more traditional EFL teaching. 


Enjoy
