ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2011: NEW WAVES, NEW WAYS IN ELT.

Good afternnon classmates.

Last week, the teacher, Rose, Jhonatan, David, and I had the opportunity to attend the ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2011, this conference was titled NEW WAVES, NEW WAYS IN ELT. The first day, Thursday 23rd it took place at Melia Hotel, over there were exposed three plenaries, the first one was: MORE THAN LANGUAGE: REDEFINING ESOL AND LEARNING IN THE 21st CENTURY by Brian Long, the second one was: ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING METHODS: WHAT'S NEW UNDER THE SUN? by Donna M. Brinton, and the last one was: TEACHING ENGLISH IS A LOT MORE THAN JUST TEACHING LANGUAGE by Idolina Camargo.

On friday 24th were exposed the other lectures at Dominico Americano Institute, that day we had the privilege to chose two of many of them. In the first session Rose and I decided to attend the lecture: I CAN'T USE ENGLISH IN THE CLASSROOM-MY STUDENTS DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH by Donna Brinton, and for the second one we attend: 10 PRACTICAL RULES FOR THE EFL PRIMARY CLASSROOM by George Kokolas.

The last one was my favorite, I really enjoyed it, and learned new things.

This is a brief report about those two days we last in the conferences, we meet new and known people, we share knowledges and ideas. It was way amazing.

During this week all of you will see pictures and more informations about the lectures and in spite of we are planning to make a presentation to transmit the awareness we acquired among those interesting days.
