When you get home from a conference like IATEFL, it is hard to find the time or recover full-spirit to write posts that truly reflect what we’ve experienced and the highlights of the ELT world.

Conferences are made of connections, gatherings, new acquaintances. The BrazTESOL International Conference in João Pessoa was no different, except that it was totally different for me. The premises of the Bilingual School Cidade Viva were amazing, with great infrastructure for an international event. The people working there had a special vibe, very solicitous always, and […]

IATEFL was just some days ago, but things get so hectic when we get back that it seems that it was so long ago… The highlights of an international conference like IATEFL is always related to the people you meet and talk to and the networking that takes place everywhere, on the streets, on Twitter, […]
Dear presenters, We are your audience. We came from every corner of the globe to watch YOU. Not anyone else. From a comprehensive range of options, YOU were the elected.

CALICO, The Computer Assisted Language Instruction Consortium, has had its Conference in Victoria, Canada. Though I’d love to have attended it, there’s no way we can be omnipresent when we have our professional commitments, time and budget constraints. However, all of this doesn’t seem to be plausible excuses anymore when the Conferences can be at […]
