Dear teacher members,

After this “stand-by” period we’ve had to endure in our country, I hope we all go back to school hoping this second part of the year will run smoothly and profitably for us all.

Let me just inform you of some changes in our plans with respect to our Annual Seminar this year. It is going to be held on October 31st.   The topic will be around Generative Grammar and Linguistics, and its immediate use to the teacher of English. You will be getting more information very soon. After the Seminar we will hold our annual AGM.

I would again like  to remind you of the importance of attending both the Seminar, of course, and our AGM this year, as there will be a change in authorities as well as in members of the Committee and your participation is essential. Remember that helping APIBA in every way possible helps foster our professional development and growth!

Looking forward to seeing you!
Stella Schulte
