This conference has a focus on those working - or planning to work - in Columbia. It is too late to submit a proposal for a prsentation, but for further information, you can email them at asocopi@yahoo.com.

ASOCOPI is a non-profit professional organization whose mission is to contribute to the ESL community and its influence in Columbia. They welcome contributions to their newsletter.

Later this spring and summer I'll be hosting some contests where I'll be giving away books and CDs. Stay tuned here - and send me some of your suggestions for great books, music or professional gatherings that help with language learning!

My best to you,

Morf

In June I want to welcome readers to present thoughts on the ideal job. What do you most want to do? Where would you like to be? Who would you want to work with? Does anyone have an ideal work schedule?
