2016 ELE-UK Encuentro

Teaching Spanish in Higher and Adult Education? Keen to know more? Wishing to meet some of your colleagues from other UK institutions with a view to share good practice or set up new projects?

Encuentro ele-uk 2016, open to all teachers of Spanish working in Higher and Adult Education in the UK, took place at the University of Reading on June 24th, 2016.  The aims of this Encuentro ele-uk 2016 were, among others:

  • To create a forum where teachers can exchange research, knowledge and materials.
  • To foster communication and encourage collaboration between teachers and institutions.

Encuentro ele-uk 2016 offered the opportunity to attend talks and participate in workshops featuring speakers from Higher and Adult Education in the UK and Spain.

Keynote speakers of ele-uk Encuentro 2016 were:

  • Dr Richard Kiely , Reader in TESOL Applied Linguistics in Modern Languages at the University of Southampton, who will explore the ways language teachers work. He will review the implications of communicative language teaching and reflective practice as frameworks which imply a major curriculum design role for the teacher.
  • Dr Jane Arnold, Professor at the University of Sevilla, will talk about affectivity in the ELE classroom, what it is and why it has such an impact in the acquisition of the language.

Encuentro ele-uk 2016 aimed also to offer spaces to encourage networking and to provide further opportunities to meet speakers, workshop/communication presenters and ELE practitioners.

Spanish and British publishers displayed and presented their new materials.

Encuentro ele-uk 2016 was organized in collaboration with the Department of Modern Languages and European Studies of the University of Reading.
