Dear SHARERS,
It is a real pleasure for both of us to devote this special
issue of SHARE to the Annual event of the Federación Argentina de Profesores de
Inglés : the FAAPI Conference which this year is being organized by ASPI, the
Salta English Teachers Association.
Did you know that the first FAAPI Conference ever was held
in Salta in 1974? It was called “Primer Congreso Argentino de Profesores de
Inglés” and it was chaired by Oriel Villagarcía, who was President of ASPI at
the time. David Powell, then President of FAAPI opened the Conference on Sunday 22nd of September
1974 to an audience of 520 teachers from all over the country. The Conference
was closed by Mr Powell and Oriel on Friday 27th September.
A whole week of academic activities with some of the
biggest names in the Argentinian ELT scene of the time : Sara Dardik de Fagalde,
Fanny Diaz Cancelieri, Estela Lindhom de Morris, Hilda Sahián de Chanta, Nelly
Vercellone de Ordoñez, Lore Schenieder de Zuccardi, from Universidad Nacional de
Tucumán, Miguel Kortsarz and Raquel Boden de Arias from Instituto Superior
de Salta, Pablo Lazos from
Universidad Nacional del Comahue, Sheila Smart de Mendi from Instituto Terrero
de La Plata, Juan Carlos Solís from Profesorado de Misiones, Malvina Aparicio
from Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Florence Chaudet, Laila Incola, Nélida
Páez and Alcira Chiodi de Velez from Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Aldo
Blanco from INSP Joaquín V Gonzalez, Alcira Molina de Diamante from Instituto
del Profesorado de Tucumán, Diana Englebert, Sheila Nally de Casanova and Maria
F. De Figueroa from Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata.
Thirty years after that glorious First Conference, the
magic will be at work again. Teachers from all over the country will meet again
for the big celebration. This year we are both going to FAAPI. We hope to meet
many SHARERS there!
Love
Omar and Marina

ACCOMMODATION
There is full information on hotel prices in the
ASPI web page, www.aspisalta.8k.com
Given the fact that this Conference will take place in what is regarded
as high season in Salta, it is highly advisable to channel your hotel
reservation through Clever Tours. A number of hotels have been blocked for your
benefit, so please contact them through erika@clevertours.com.ar
WHEN THERE IS
A WILL THERE IS A WAY: ON TO SALTA BY COACH
Quite a few people have told us that what might
prevent them from attending the FAAPI 2003 conference is the cost of
transportation from places a long way away from Salta. We are glad to advise you
that we were recently approached by ENGLISH TEACHING ON LINE (
english_teaching_ar@yahoo.com.ar , phone (011) 4 778 3566) who are in
the process of getting a group going from Capital Federal. They are supposedly
offering a package deal which includes transportation, accommodation and the
admission fee at what seems to be an affordable price. Be sure to
check them out and study whatever they have to offer.
PLEASE NOTE
THAT FAAPI CAN NOT ENDORSE ANY ORGANIZATION AS SUCH INVOLVED IN SUCH
VENTURES, but does
encourage you to make up your own groups to cut
expenses. Groups are able to negotiate better hotel prices, better transportation
charges and lower admission fees. In this respect, FAAPI is prepared to
offer discounts on any groups larger than five people, so get together and make
your own group.
In the past, ADVICE BOOKSHOP (Santa
Fe) used to get groups going for FAAPI, and on several occasions the
University of Catamarca placed a bus at the disposal of FAAPI participants.
Still, you may want to tempt your local bookstore, your
language teaching school or even your university to make arrangements so
that a group--the larger the better--can get
going.
Just
remember, when there is a will, there is
a way!
A FEW WORDS ABOUT
FAAPI
FAAPI stands for FEDERACION ARGENTINA DE
ASOCIACIONES DE PROFESORES DE INGLES. FAAPI brings together over twenty
English Teachers’ Associations from all over the country.
Members of the executive committees of all associations work on an ad honorem
basis. Their altruistic, silent and non-egoic work is true example of
love.
To become a member of the associations that
make up FAAPI, you must have a degree in the teaching of English from a tertiary
level institution or university. FAAPI’s activities, however, are open to all
those concerned with teaching English as a foreign or second
language.
FAAPI aims to raise the standards of teaching
English in Argentina. If you have the right qualifications and still have not
joined your local English teachers’ association now is the time to do so. Or
your may want to start an association if there is any in your
area.
SEE YOU IN
SALTA
Come and enjoy the mountains, the
music, the empanadas, the wine, and most of all the people that will be make
FAAPI 2003 unique. Get together with those friends you met at previous FAAPI
Conferences and make new friendships. Find delight in new learnings, new
horizons, new vistas. Let this conference touch your heart and
mind.
