IATEFL PERU TEACHER DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS

AUGUST 2012

‘The Use of Learning Strategies in the Language Classroom’ M.A.Sara Costa

ABSTRACT

The Use of Learning Strategies in the Language Classroom is a research thesis that explains the comparison between a Private and a Parrochial School in Lima Peru. This presentation will explain the foundation, process and results obtained from this research and its implications for the future.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Sara Costa is a seasoned teacher who is very passionate about her teaching career. She is a graduate of Instituto Pedagógico Nacional de Monterrico and Michigan State University in the area of Language Teaching where she obtained her bachelor and master degrees. She has been an ESL teacher, coordinator, consultant and evaluator in Peru and in the United States in grades K-12, language institutes and ELT publishers for many years. In an effort to continue learning about how all children learn best, she has recently also obtained a second master’s degree in Psychology with an emphasis on Learning Differences.

‘Critical Reflective Teaching: From Learning to Teaching Trajectories’ -Dr.Carmen Cáceda

ABSTRACT

This interactive critical reflective session aims at making the participants aware of how our language learning experiences are translated into our teaching, and the way we learned and teach may collide with our students’ learning processes. Some of us are witnessing rapid changes (e.g., our students’ making use of technology) so “common sense” will suggest that we co-learn and incorporate their socio-cultural context to have more engaging lessons. A question to consider is: to what extent is this situation happening in our classrooms?

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Carmen Cáceda Córdova holds a Ph.D. in Culture, Literacy, and Language from The University of Texas at San Antonio. She also pursued M.A. studies at Villanova University and Moray House College of Education. She is a graduate from IPN-Monterrico and from Universidad Nacional de Educacion, “La Cantuta.”

[ELTeCS_PE​RU] Congratula​tions to PERU-TESOL​/ Internatio​nal Associatio​ns Meeting

It is with great pleasure that IATEFL PERU would very much like to congratulate our siblings: Miss Nefdy Falcony and all Board members of PERU-TESOL for the successful 20th Annual CONVENTION which took place on July 31st - August 2nd 2012 in Chiclayo, Lambayeque.


The Theme of the Convention was "Speaking Up For English" which we are sure has instilled many ideas, thoughts, challenges, reflections that we , teachers of English are willing to get.

Our deepest gratitude to Mr David Fay , Relo Andes-US Embassy for having invited IATEFL –PERU to the International Association Meeting where we could share, learn, integrate with Associations from Bolivia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Peru .

After the meeting we have gotten positive outcomes and we feel totally identified, we have gone through similar ’bad experiences’ which turn into ones with gained experience and above all, as Nefdy outlined, we are not competing, and this is something that I totally agree, we are helping each other, and I am so proud of being present in a Meeting where there was no criticism but all of us worked on building and improving different aspects of the Associations where we are all passionate about the work we all do on volunteer basis.

IATEFL -PERU President
