SIGs – ASOC OPI’S SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS
Through this strategy ASOCOPI purports to strengthen Colombian ELT community by providing a forum for the exchange of ideas between the different SIGs and their members. ASOCOPI truly believes that the exchange of ideas and experiences between teachers is a source of professional growth; however, it is more significant if it is informed by research and sustained dialogue with members of the research groups.
Below is a list of ASOCOPI’s SIGs, feel free to contact any or various coordinators to join the group.
