Today I attended to sessions at the APAC (Associació de Professors i Professores d’ Anglès de Catalunya) Congress. The first session, by Jeremy Harmer, dealt with how teachers include new technologies in their teaching. It was entertaining, with lots of examples and funny remarks, but I’m not sure it was any useful -apart from the general optimism he transpired. The second lecture was by Michael Swan. Michael Swan is the author of General English Usage, the grammar book most teachers keep near at hand. He’s a guru in English teaching, so everything he said sounded interesting and relevant, even though it only talked about how he got to write his book and how he has written another one that complements it. I think I’m getting the idea. So now… I’m supposed to have a look at it and maybe buy it?

Let’s see what’s in store tomorrow.
