Today there were educational sessions at the Escuela de Lenguas of the National University of La Plata celebrating its 15th anniversary. The teachers who belong to the School staff shared the experiences or research works they have carried out this year. The sessions were grouped into three sections: ICT, Literature and Linguistics. As you may imagine, I took part in the ICT sessions ;-) In this opportunity, I spoke about WorldCALL - what it is and its aims- and made a brief description of the latest trends presented in Fukuoka. Of course, I showed a picture of the awarded ladies in their kimonos!!!! I was not alone , Jennifer Verschoor came from Buenos Aires to La Plata. Together we spoke about ARCALL ( CALL Argentina) and our intention to fulfill our intention of spreading WorldCALL work. This is the power point presentation.

I would like to say thank you to Thomas Robb for his immence patience and kindness, Prof. Akio Iwasaki and Hisako Yamauchi, Mike Levy among others. Meeting Webheads was fantastic! Most of the awardees were Webheads: Erika Cruvinel (Brazil), Hala Fawzi (Sudan), Neny Isharyanti (Indonesia), Evelyn Izquierdo (Venezuela), Nina Lyulkun (Ukraine), Jennifer Verschoor and I (Argentina). We also met Vance Stevens. Webheads ladies formed a very nice and noisy group. We laughed a lot and had a great time talking about ourselves, families, work, dreams and projects.
