TESOL 19 Convention - the next day

Another day at the Convention. I am so happy to be there, I have enjoyed every single moment. I encourage you all to attend next year. It will be in Denver, USA.

The book exhibit is one of the places that is always full of people. I bought a book at the TESOL bookstore. They have books online at www.tesol.org/bookstore

One of the session that I attended today was presented by Teachers from Alianza Cultural Uruguay. They took the 6 principles from TESOL and used it in their English as a Foreign Language Context for Training and Hiring Teachers in Uruguay. Training from them is available on line (silvia.laborde@alianza.edu.uy). I suggest you contact them if you are interested.Great approach and interesting idea. Teachers can adapt  the 6 principles to their own teaching setting. The 6 principles book can be bought at the TESOL online bookstore from the link above.

The other session was about Translanguaging in Early Childhoos and Elementary.  Here is the concept.

This new pedagody is a new fresh look at students in the USA classrooms.

I will blog more about this in the future. I was really surprised to know about it.
The convention continues tomorrow!
