WHAT'S UP 2019

Dear teachers, students and visitors in general It's been a while since the last time we updated this blog. You can't imagine all the wonderful things that have been going on during these last years, but no worries, we're here to share!

A sneak peak to our WHAT'S UP BULLETIN 4
 
In teacher Elida Stella's words, 2018 was a very productive year for the Foreign Languages Teachers Network in Cali. This year the bulletin becomes the memoires of the wonderful work that teachers and students develop in and outside the classroom. If you are interested in having a PDF copy, please don't hesitate to write to foreignlanguageteacherscali@gmail.com and ask for it!

The bulletin is a space for teachers and students to share their excitement for the language, the sciences and the arts! Creativity is spread and talent arises in the minds of participants :)
In this issue, teachers can fin some tips on How to use the bulletin in class. For instance, there is the possibility to practice vocabulary (through wordsearch and crosswords, guessing meanings in contexts, and so on); also, to analyze writing structures and text typologies, among others.

We challenge you to inmerse yourself in the adventure of studying this material and perhaps we'll see you work in the following edition.

Meaningful Experiences Summit

It was the perfect moment to share wonderful initiatives in public and private education; with a two-dayslong encounter, teachers were able to participate in workshops, lectures and webinars in broad topics and quite appealing titles:

The workshop Sensibilización frente a la socialización de experiencias significativas para la enseñanza del inglés en IEO de Cali, by Fabián Polanco and Maria Elena Mondragón, was specially designed for teachers to start organizing their classroom experiences and prepare to share all those amazing ideas with colleagues!
