Hi everybody! I'd like to share with you our experience at FAAPI this year. We had the golden opportunity to meet really important people such as Jeremy Harmer, Allan Malley and Herbert Puchta. Besides, we attended very interesting lectures delivered by other profesionals who are not that well-known but who were very didactic-not in all the cases- and who provided useful and valuable information about current teaching practices in other countries, such as the United States.
I want to tell you that the university facilities where really modern and extensive. There were plenty of classrooms so many workshops or pannels could be held at the same time. The plenaries were held in an enormous auditorium with room for more than a thousand people. There was also a huge patio where we could go during the coffee breaks to breathe fresh air and enjoy the sunshine.
I believe the congress was carefully organized. It's quite obvious that ACPI (Asociación Cordobesa de Profesores de Inglés) has already been in charge of organizing many FAAPI conferences. During coffee breaks we could drink as much coffee as we wanted, and we were also provided with some sweet food to enjoy together with the coffee.
I think that when attending this annual conference you can learn about new trends in EFL and, above all, you have the wonderful chance to talk to native speakers, both American and British. So, next year, if you can save some money and invest it in your profesional development, do not even hesitate!
