This is a special invitation to a series called “English Out and About,” produced by RELO Andes, consisting of 10 episodes of about 15 minutes each. During each episode, four language specialists travel to various sites in the US and guide us through fun facts, history, and culture. In addition, each episode gives a fun, engaging lesson in English. This series is meant for someone at the B1 level (lower intermediate) who wants to learn a bit about the US and improve their English at the same time. In addition to the videos, there are some practice activities to go along with each lesson and links to additional resources for both learners and teachers of English.

Episode 0 will be aired on May 18. Link: https://app.box.com/s/iy7fkd6qn2iwb8dstuu324oe9tkf2vwc

Building bridges – Building communities

For many years, TESOL-SPAIN has been working closely with a handful of Teacher Associations such as IATEFL and TESOL and local associations. However, in recent times, our network has extended beyond the Spanish borders to include sister associations in faraway places like ARTESOL or Korea TESOL. This has made it possible to learn about what other teachers are doing in other countries and to share problems and objectives. In this brief presentation, I would like to explain what TESOL-SPAIN has been doing, the benefits this liaison has brought to us and our plans for the future.

Annie Altamirano (MA ELT & Applied Linguistics) has over 30 years’ experience as a teacher, teacher trainer and author. She has given teacher-training workshops in Latin America, Europe and Asia.
