Meeting Description:

Organized by the Colombian Association of English language teachers (ASOCOPI),
the 52nd Asocopi Annual Congress aims at improving the teaching of English in
Colombia. Through its history, the association has been at the forefront of
innovations, new trends, and best practices.  

Being aware that teaching a language goes beyond teaching structures, tenses,
nouns, adjectives, the four skills, and competences, this year the central
topic of the conference is ELT Classroom Practices and the Construction of
Peace and Social Justice. 

The spirit of this year´s congress is to bring together all those experiences
in which teachers use the English class and the English language as a vehicle
to explore issues of inclusion, of acknowledgment of diversity, of how peace
is lived and understood in different contexts and regions in the country. As
such we will be happy to receive contributions that adopt different
pedagogical and research approaches to systematize all those practices carried
out by English teachers.

International speakers: 
-David Block
ICREA - Universitat de Lleida
-Miriam Eisenstein Ebsworth
University of New York - Steinhardts
-Shirley Steinberg
University of Calgary
-Manka Varghese
University of Washington
