A TESOL Symposium in Valencia, Venezuela
Sometimes, returning to the four skills is a great way to motivate educators to reflect on their teaching practice. This one-day symposium provides a unique opportunity for primary and secondary teachers, preservice teachers, teacher trainers, and university professions to explore effective delivery methods regarding listening, reading, speaking, and writing. This event will focus on material development for learners of all age and proficiency levels and show you how you can implement these materials in your daily practice.
This TESOL symposium will take place just before the
2016 VenTESOL Conference.
TESOL is pleased to announce that this event is being organized in partnership with
VenTESOL, an affiliate of TESOL International Association.
