Newsletter No. 47 - November 2013
From the President Dear APIBA Members,
2013 has been an eventful year for APIBA. After 12 years, APIBA organised the third edition of the FAAPI Annual Conference held in the City of Buenos Aires. FAAPI 1994 was held at the Escuela Normal Superior en Lenguas Vivas “J. F. Kennedy” (now “S. B. Spangenberg”) and FAAPI 2001 was held at U.C.A. We hope that FAAPI 2013 at U.C.A.’s new
Convention Centre lived up to the high standards set by its two Buenos Aires predecessors as well as by the many successful past FAAPI Conferences organised by APIBA’s sister Associations.
In this Newsletter you will see that throughout 2013 much more happened at APIBA: the monthly SIG meetings, Un-Bloomsday, APIBA Annual Fellowship Lunch, “Publish or Perish?” at the U.B., APIBA Programmes updates, new benefits for Members, APIBA Best-average awards and much more!
So, lots of reasons to propose a toast to a 2014 full of even more good news for APIBA, FAAPI, our sister Associations and our profession!
Read on and keep up with news on
APIBA at www.apiba.org.ar and

Warm regards,
Analía Kandel APIBA President

APIBA SIGs at FAAPI ‘13
APIBA Special Interest Groups took an active role at the FAAPI ‘13 Conference.
APIBA Methodology SIG Members, María José Larrosa, Nibia Yermos, and Andrea Paradiuk, presented a workshop entitled “Do, Re, Mi: The Sound of Music in Our Classrooms”, where they shared some music-related tasks that they have found effective in the classroom either in developing language
acquisition as a whole, or in celebrating multicultural diversity more specifically.
APIBA Literature SIG / Reading Group Members Mónica Cuello, Cecilia Corino de Weber and Sofía Masutti presented “A World of Difference: An Anthology of Short Stories from Five Continents: “Martha Martha” by Zadie Smith and “Storm Petrel” by Romesh Gunesekera”, where they looked into displacement,
social and linguistic alienation and the expression of a sense of “otherness”.
APIBA e-TL SIG Members Ma. Inés Cambiasso, Claudia Antinori, Marcia Balda and Silvana Lopardo, and APIBA member, EdTech specialist Jennifer Verschoor, presented “ICT and Teaching: Collaborating to build knowledge?”, in the British Council-APIBA Professional Development Track,
where they dealt with the impact of ICTs on the teaching and learning process.
Graciela Moyano & Débora Bagüez (APIBA Professional Issues SIG / APIBA Junior), Viviana Myslicki & Romina Arena (APIBA SIGs), Ines Cambiasso (APIBA Mentorship Programme) & Claudia Naom (APIBA Senior) also took
part in the British Council-APIBA Professional Development Track, where they presented these APIBA Programmes, which foster the continuing professional development of teachers and teacher trainees at various stages of their careers.
The APIBA Language & Phonology SIG and Young Learners SIG presented two “Meet & Greet” sessions with keynote speakers Helen Ashton (British
Council) and Clare Furneaux (University of Reading). APIBA SIGs also presented institutional posters at Virtual FAAPI 2013.
