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.

Impressions on I APAVAC Conference

On the 14th and 15th of October I APAVAC Conference was held in IES Abastos where several speakers lectured of various issues.

The Conference was organized in two days, Friday 16h-21.30h and Saturday 9h-14.30h. so  the 10 different sessions could have their time assigned.

We could consider it was a huge success because 96 teachers from all educational systems attended and  received very different and varied information: How to Make a Scrapbook, How CLIL is progressing
nowadays in Spain and abroad, How to Teach a Practical Class on English Poetry or improve English through Films etc, etc, etc.




APAVAC thinks the aims of the Conference were achieved because we wanted to give our English Teachers Members in our Comunitat a vast range of information ,practical and theoretical,  to allow  English professionals to be updated on any kind of new ideas, teachers training, teaching new currents, practical English classes even a look at the CEF (Common European Framework) and its connection with Language Teaching.

Finally and most importantly, APAVAC received the generous collaboration of all the Speakers involved in the Conference: Rodrigo Fernández Carmona (Teacher and Author), M. Jesús Frigols (Teacher and Teacher Trainer) M. Victoria Oliver from Castelló ( Teacher and Teacher Trainer), Ester Molina  (Primary Teacher, President of CETA  Córdoba English Teachers Association), IULMA ( Instituto Universitario de Lenguas Modernas Aplicadas), Patrick Howarth (from the BC, freelance Teacher Trainer and Course book writer), Beatriu Cardona (EOI teacher and Associate Teacher) and Miguel Martinez Lopez (Full Professor of English of the University of Valencia).

Re: cuota de sócio

Hola, yo soy socia desde el año pasado, y me gustaría saber si ya podemos ingresar la cantidad de la cuota (que no sé a cuanto asciende este año) o si vamos a esperar a saber alguna otra forma distinta a la transferéncia para pagarla.
Grácias




La cuota sigue siendo 20€ y ya se puede ingresar la de 2012. Hay dos maneras de pagar la cuota de 2012.
Desde el blog tomando los datos de "per apuntar-vos" y haciendo una transferencia bancaria o desde el blog en la sección" Domiciliació de la quota de soci" en cuyo caso sólo tienes que dar  los datos que solicita el formulario y remitirlo (submit) y nosotros te pasaremos el cobro anualmente sin ninguna molestia por tu parte.

saludos cordiales
