<\/p>\nEurocentres School, London\u00a0 11th\u201313th\u00a0 November\u00a0 2010<\/p>\n
The event was attended by Vesna Staki\u0107 who represented YALS and the ‘Tom & Emma School of English’ Belgrade<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The\u00a0aim of the annual workshop meeting of EAQUALS members, was to provide an opportunity for members to work together on special interest projects\u00a0 (SIPs) relevant to them, which are as follows:<\/p>\n
Each participant in the meeting had to choose one SIP they would work on and I chose the<\/p>\n
New technology in language teaching and training SIP.<\/strong>\u00a0The facilitator stressed that one of the main aims of the SIP was to reduce technophobia in teachers A list which included different ways of using technology in class was drawn up which included the following: interactive whiteboards, virtual learning environments (VLEs) i.e. Second Life, Moodle, free or inexpensive software for ELT, useful web resources which offer lesson plans or other ELT activities, existing technology such as mobile phones and MP3 players, social networks (Facebook, Twitter). The objective of the SIP is to create a brief user friendly guide to free\/inexpensive technology available to teachers.<\/p>\n I also attended the launch of\u00a0the Core Inventory for English,<\/strong>\u00a0a joint project of EAQUALS and the British Council, the aim of which is to make the CEFR accessible to teachers and adult learners of General English. It lists key language points for each CEFR level from A1 to C1 and includes language points (functions, grammar, vocabulary, topics and discourse markers) at the levels at which they are considered of most relevance to the learner. This will facilitate defining objectives, writing syllabuses and planning courses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Eurocentres School, London\u00a0 11th\u201313th\u00a0 November\u00a0 2010 The event was attended by Vesna Staki\u0107 who represented YALS and the ‘Tom & Emma School of English’ Belgrade...<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[237],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9713","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
