Education is a procedure, which accompanies the
processes of globalization, seeks transformations, and adapts to fulfill people’s
needs. From this perspective, technological innovation is not just another
mechanism because its effective integration into education is to revolutionize
knowledge and stimulate research. Technology is a decisive factor in
consolidating the professional profile of educators; however, it is not as
simple as applying information and communication technologies.
This Congress seeks to turn academic analysis into a
globalized projection in educational and scientific contexts in order to
develop ties between research and real world applications and promote interrelationships
among national and international experts.
OBJECTIVE
The main objective of the congress is to create a space to democratize
and discuss the new technological methodologies that facilitate the teaching of
the English Language in all educational levels.
METHODOLOGY
This event is held
on the 6th, 7th and 8th of February 2019 and based
on three main domains: Technology, Pedagogy, and Knowledge.
The format for the
congress is divided into three stages: plenaries (informative talk on the
topic), related workshops followed by roundtable discussions.
TECHNOLOGY AND BOOK FAIR
Besides acquiring
knowledge through plenaries, workshops and roundtable discussions, there is a
fair where main creators of resources for teachers will offer their
products as result for their research in TEFL. Participants have the
option to visit these stands during the three days of the congress where the
raffle of surprise presents will be held.
REGISTRATION DATE
If you want to attend, please register from January 15th to
February 3rd 2019.
