TESOL’s Electronic Village Online (EVO)

  

January 11 – February 21, 2010

 Registration Jan 4-10. See sessions here.

For six weeks, participants in EVO can engage with ESOL experts in collaborative, online discussion sessions or in hands-on virtual workshops of professional and scholarly benefit. These sessions will bring together participants for a longer period of time than is permitted by the land-based TESOL convention and will allow a fuller development of ideas and themes of the convention or of professional interest in general.

The sessions are free and open to all interested parties.

You do not need to be a TESOL member to participate.

Sessions are organized by TESOL’s CALL Interest Section and run wholly by volunteers who have donated their time to serve the profession.

During December, you will have time to explore the session syllabi. In January, you can join a session and work begins. These sessions require several hours/day of time on line, so do not sign up for more than two sessions. In February, at the end of your sessions, you will be asked to participate in an evaluation, so that we can make EVO better. (See the Timeline below.)

EVO is not a part of TESOL’s Online Teaching Certificate Program

Contact TESOL for further information about the OTCP and other educational programs at edprograms@tesol.org

Social Networking 2009

Event Promotional video

 

From  November 5-8, 2009, we will be running the Social Networking 2009 Conference. This open-knowledge event will be completely online and free and it is aimed at encouraging practioners to reflect on the role of communities of practice as a social network in ELT.

This event is being jointly organized by AVEALMEC and ARCALL, two Latin American associations, one based in Venezuela and the other in Argentina, interested in promoting the use of ICT in the language classroom.

For this event, we invited conference speakers from different parts of the world:

• George Siemens -Canada
• Etienne Wenger -United States of America
• Vance Stevens  -United Arabic Emirates
• Nik Peachey  -United Kingdom
• Charalambos Vrasidas and Maria Solomou  -Cyprus
• Nicky Hockly -Spain
• Erika Cruvinel and Ronaldo Lima –Brazil
• Rita Zeinstejer and Paula Ledesma -Argentina
• Nellie Müller Deustch –Israel
• Carla Arena –Brazil
• Graham Stanley –Spain
• Jennifer Verschoor, Evelyn Izquierdo and Erika Cruvinel –Argentina, Venezuela, Brazil

During four days, our guest speakers will be sharing their experiences and expertise with participants and will help us grasp a better picture of how social networks can be used in the language teaching and learning field. We will be discussing about the concepts and theories around social networks, communities of practice and the Web 2.0, as well as about the use, advantages and drawbacks of social networking tools.

Join us and participate in this amazing learning experience! Visit our official site http://avealmec.org.ve/ and join us in Social Net and Moodle. You may also follow us in Facebook: AVEALMEC Venezuelan CALL Association or Twitter: avealmec.
