We just had our first Academic Saturday of 2010 and it was a great success! It was held at Universidad del Valle de México on Tlaxcala /Cananea & Querobabi on Saturday February 6th from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.

We had three interesting presentations:

Adopting the right Teaching Approach                                                                                                                                        Alfonso Barraza from ITSON

Developing Life Competences through ELT                                                                                                                                   María Trapero Dávila from COLEGIO TERESIANO DE LA VERA-CRUZ

The Four Corners Technique                                                                                                                                                                     Linda Patricia Pritasil Reyna ITESCA

We also had the participation of Delti Book Store with a table exhibit of a great collection of books and materials interesting to all the more than 35 teachers that attended this academic event. We welcomed the teachers from the ELT Gradute Program at ITSON, from Colegio Teresiano, Programa de Inglés en Primarias, and the teachers from Navojoa.

Thank you all for attending and making this a successful event!

We are very happy for Ana Luisa Vega Valdez from Navojoa, and an active member of the Sonora Sur Chapter, for winning a partial grant offered by the US Embassy and MEXTESOL to attend the TESOL Convention in Boston Massachusetts from the 24th to the 27th of March this year. She will receive the registration for the Convention and $1,000 US dlls. for her traveling expenses.

We hope Ana Luisa has a great time in Boston and she shares her experience with all of us in Sonora Sur when she comes back.

The other winners of this grant are:

Sagrario del Refugio Flores Suárez from Veracruz

Natzelly González García from Tamaulipas

Irma Dolores Nuñez y Bodegas from Chiapas

Eva Ruiz Valenzuela from Jalisco 

Congratulations to all the winners!!!

We trust they will do a good job and we are proud that they are from Sonora Sur!
