SUPPORTING ELT KNOWLEDGE PROMOTION
Professional development workshop: Nurturing and sharing local expertise and experience in English rural education.
This professional development workshop in the form of a two-day virtual workshop (16 hours) with synchronous and asynchronous participation of English teachers who share and systematize their experiences about teaching English in rural areas. It was offered exclusively to 50 elementary and high school teachers who teach English in the public sector in some regions in Colombia: the Caribbean and Pacific coasts, Andean, Orinoquia and Amazon regions. It is organized in partnership with Colombian scholars and teachers who have deepened their understanding of teaching English in rural areas. Through this professional development workshop, ASOCOPI continues its work to support English teachers and teaching in our country. ASOCOPI also intends to strengthen the Special Interest Groups: Interculturality, Social Justice, and English Language Teaching and Materials Development and Didactics to construct professional communities that care about the language we teach with social responsibility
NATIONAL CONFERENCE
This year’s ASOCOPI Congress intends to bring together different national and international experiences on the construction and implementation of bilingual or multilingual educational processes. For ASOCOPI, it is relevant to be the forum for teachers and scholars from around the world, and particularly from Latin America, to dialogue, examine, evaluate, reflect, and set agendas that contribute to the improvement of English language teaching and the educational policy that supports it. As such, we look forward to receiving contributions that address bilingual or multilingual processes from pedagogical, methodological, investigative, political, and cultural standpoints.
