WELCOME Dear Participant, APIBA is pleased to welcome you to our 2017 Annual Seminar, whose primary aim has always been since its foundation in 1971 to provide English teachers with a permanent forum where issues can be discussed. This traditional event held year after year has contributed to keeping teachers up-to-date by offering them the opportunity to discuss with specialists and colleagues the latest research and experiences in the teaching of English as a foreign language. This year the title of our annual academic day is "Unleashing the Power of Local Language Teaching Talent” - an invitation to revalue local contributions to continuing professional development, teacher support and the generation of materials and good practices. We hope this new issue of our traditional annual event comes up to your expectations and helps you get updated on the latest trends in order to grow as ELT professionals. Best wishes,
Virginia López Grisolía President

DarĂo Banegas Reaching Out: Local ELT Talent in/for/from Argentina What do we mean by local ELT talent? Where are they? Who are they? What do they do? Are we good at promoting and encouraging new generations of teacher educators and presenters? To what extent do we include local ELT talent in our professional practices? What does local talent do to share experiences and expertise? What can we do better? How can we reach out? In this opening plenary, I will address some issues and practices and suggest ways in which we can unleash and sustain the power of ELT professionals across Argentina and make our voices heard in the continent and beyond.

Silvana Richardson Unleashing the power of Argentinian ELT talent in the world Argentinian ELT teachers and teacher educators are well-known in the international ELT arena for their professionalism and expertise. And yet, only few of us venture into the world of international conferences, web conferences and published academic work. How can we develop our conďŹ dence to increase our representation and speak out with a distinctive voice? What can teacher training colleges, teachers’ associations and other organisations do to unlock, support and nourish local talent?

Silvia Rettaroli & Viviana Lรณpez Larretchart Bringing the World into the Classroom Taking risks and being innovative are important ways to go about teaching and learning. They are undoubtedly two of the skills our 21st century students need to develop. Becoming global citizens capable of engaging in collaborative and cooperative projects with people from the rest of the world is another key skill our students need for the future. The project called "Bringing the World into the Classroom" is a telecollaborative intercultural project which promotes interaction among schools from different parts of the world, by taking part in online meetings via Skype or Google Hangout, as well as by participating in collaborative wikis and blogs. During the meetings, students play games, tell stories, engage in research tasks, solve problems, interview writers and experts or participate in global working teams with the purpose of achieving a certain goal decided upon beforehand by the teachers involved. By engaging our students in enriching and inspiring tasks which enhance cross-cultural learning, while developing their linguistic and digital skills, we aim at developing intercultural competence as well as exploring innovative and challenging teaching practices.

Gabriela Madera & Alicia Artusi Plan Ceibal in English: How do Remote Teachers and Tutors Reach out to Uruguay? Within the highly innovative programme Plan Ceibal en InglĂŠs, whose aim is to reach state-run primary school children in all corners of Uruguay by means of remote teaching, classroom teachers learn the language through a self-access course with the help of e-moderators. However, most of the Uruguayan classroom teachers who participate have very little knowledge of English. How do they manage to deliver two lessons per week? This session will focus on this aspect of the project.
