ARTESOL

Inspired by teacher education for inclusion, the VI Seminar for English Teaching Professionals is entitled:  “Embracing an Inclusive Education in Practice: from the  Curriculum to Regulation, Trends, Digital Literacies, and Assessment” to promote the social side of inclusion, human diversity, equality, and quality education for all. The seminar, organized by the English Teaching Major for First and Second Cycles of UNED and the Association of Teachers of English-ACPI, provides space for language and academic development in the English teaching field.  Attendees have the opportunity to explore with specialists the latest trends to teach English in various educational contexts that respond to the needs of EFL language learners.  

The seminar took place on July 6th and 7th at Sala Magna, UNED-Sabanilla, transmitted virtually and on July 8th  virtual mode.
