The
First SHARE Convention: "How to…" has been
conceived of as a workshop, a laboratory or a clinic where
different practical applications to English Language Teaching
could be discussed by some of the most prominent exponents
of our profession in our country. The theme of the Convention
calls for a direct demonstration of strategies, techniques,
examples, procedures and methods for concrete classroom
practice as well as the sharing of successful experiences
in EFL and ESL.
Within this general framework, presentations that include
reports of or proposals for innovative classroom practice
or new theories, methodologies or ways of looking at language
and language learning and teaching have been favoured in
the selection of speakers.
Rather
than describing or discussing, the presentations in this
Convention will show a technique for teaching or testing.
Normally the presenter's statement of the theory underlying
the technique will take not more than ten minutes. The rest
of the time will be used for showing, rather than telling.
All
Presentations will be 60 minutes long
The
Executive Committee will allocate the presentations in such
a way as to offer the Convention participants as much variety
as possible at any given slot.
Repeats of some presentations might be offered at the discretion
of the Executive Committee.
All
presentations will be semi-plenaries. Proposals with the
format "Round Table" might be considered as well.
All presentations will be Academic.
A
number of five presentations might be sponsored by different
companies and institutions of the ELT scene. These will
be clearly marked in the Convention Book as "Sponsored
Presentations".
The
official languages of the Convention are English and Spanish.
Though, presentations in English will be favoured by the
Academic Committee.
