Grammar Goof-ups: Fix Them Once and For All! Webinar for English Language Teachers Hello everyone! The next webinar for English language teachers hosted by the Regional English Language Office at the US Embassy will be presented by Daniel Hirsch, English Language Fellow for the US Department of State.   Wednesday, March 15, 2017 3 - 4 PM (Peru time) Register now! After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with instructions to join the webinar.   Grammar Goof-ups: Fix Them Once and For All! English grammar is complex, there are many rules and many exceptions to these rules. Non-native speakers generally make mistakes when it comes to proper grammar usage. Many of these mistakes are due to lack of education when learning the rules of grammar, poor classroom instruction when learning English, or fossilized errors that have not been corrected over time. Often the non-native speaker does not know he/she is making an error and is not corrected by native speakers. This webinar will focus on helping learners to correct their errors and learn strategies to teach forward to their students. About Daniel Daniel Hirsch has been working in the field of ESL/EFL since 1997. He worked for the Japanese Ministry of Education as a Coordinator for International Relations, as a Fulbright exchange teacher in Turkey, and as a coordinator and ESL teacher in New York City’s public and private schools. He has also done research on teacher training in Finland. Currently, he is the English Language Fellow in La Paz, Mexico working with over 260 teachers in the state of Baja California Sur, as a teacher trainer and mentor. How to connect? You can access from any computer or smartphone connected to the Internet and watch it live. When the webinar begins, connect to audio using a microphone and speakers (VoIP).

YAPSA: Youth Ambassadors Program with South America

Application deadline: March 5, 2017

Do you want to be a leader in your community?

Awamaki is proud to present the Youth Ambassadors Program with South America. The program is a three-week youth leadership exchange program of the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, administered by Amizade Global Service-Learning and Awamaki. Do NOT contact the U.S. embassy!

The YAPSA program will send 20 Peruvian teenagers as well as 2 adult mentors to the United States from October 15-November 11, 2017. The program aims to engage young adults in Peru and Bolivia, who have a strong sense of civic responsibility, a commitment to community development, an awareness of current & global issues, strong interpersonal leadership skills, willingness to foster relationships among youth from different ethnic, religious, and national groups in Peru and to promote mutual understanding, respect and collaboration between the United States and South America. Participants will be required to implement follow-un activities upon their return home that will help them to stay in touch with each other, reflect on their experiences and integrate that learning into their day-to-day lives at home. An important goal of the program is that the student leaders, now empowered, will train other student leaders through student-led community-oriented service projects.

All applications MUST be sent electronically. Please read all instructions carefully before applying.
Awamaki is committed to ensuring a balance between participants of both sexes and to include participants representing diverse cultural, ethnic and geographic locations. Individuals who make it through the initial application review by our panel will be contacted for an interview in late March 2017.
