¡Viva la Vida Latina!
I'm Secretary and 'web guru' of the ALL Spanish Committee and would like to bring your attention to the following event that's fast approaching.
¡Vida Latina! will be held at Aston University, easily accessible by road and public transport, and will be a day of celebrating all things Hispanic.
As you can see from the flyer, there are a variety of sessions covering travel, dance, literature and teaching ideas. Guaranteed to be a good day with things to entertain and also make you think.
More details can be found on the Links in languages site.
Excellent value - especially if you're a student!!
I'm looking forward to learning some Tango. Must find a red rose....

Language World 2009
This time last week I was starting my second afternoon of speaking at Primary Language Show in Liverpool. In three weeks time, I'll be listening to, well, I can't decide! It could be Rachel Hawkes, it could be Alex Blagona on wikis and it could be Pippa talking about a cross curricular French / Tudors project.
As usual, Language World, the annual conference of the Association of Language Learning (ALL), is packed full of great sessions. Spread over two days - Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th April - and taking place at Leicester University this year, the conference as always has something for everyone.
From trainees to PhDs, from Primary languages to Further education - all will find something to satisfy their needs. There's a primary strand this year which is great and special rates for Primary teachers - whoop whoop!
And the opportunities for meeting new people and networking are great too.
I love Language World because there are always sessions that really challenge my brain, something that doesn't always happen in CPD.
Why not have a look at the ALL site, download the PDF and check it out for yourself.
I'm speaking on 'Absorbing ideas for Primary languages' so it would be lovely to see you there. if not, I'll publish my presentation and resources here, and of course, add the audio to Lisibo talks!
