Unveiling the Art Behind Picture Book Illustration

posted 28 Sep 2011 18:49 by APrIR Comisión Directiva

A workshop with Prof. Ma. Cristina Thomson de Grondona White
 
 
 


Possibly because there´s a tendency in us adult readers to concentrate on reading words rather than reading pictures, we sometimes envision picture books as being simple, univocal texts whose sole purpose is to teach children literacy skills. Though this may be true with alphabet, counting and concept books, there´s a plethora of other innovative picture books which invite us to engage in new ways of reading and interpreting them on account of the innovative, complex relationships between their artwork and words.

The purpose of this talk will be three-fold: first, to share with colleagues a bird´s eye- view- on how to technically read and understand the language of pictures; second, to show these techniques in action through examples ; third, to reflect on how these quality picture books may contribute to motivate older readers to open up their interpretive perspectives and creatively express their personal responses to reading.

Mrs Grondona White will offer practical guidance in working with real story-books.

Thank you, APIT! - XXXVI FAAPI Conference

posted 25 Sep 2011 21:41 by APrIR Comisión Directiva   [ updated 29 Sep 2011 21:19 ]

From September 22nd to 24th, about 1200 EFL teachers flocked to Tucumán to participate in the XXXVI FAAPI Conference organised by APIT (Asociación de Profesores de Inglés de Tucumán).
 
The quality of the sessions, the idyllic setting and the warmth of the organisers made this Conference unforgettable.
 
As a token of our appreciation, we have put together this video, which summarises some of the many wonderful moments lived by the APrIR members present, including President Graciela Castelli and Vice President Maria del Carmen Fernández Beitía.

Our September celebration

posted 25 Sep 2011 12:10 by APrIR Comisión Directiva

Last September 10th we met at Take It Easy  to celebrate APrIR's 35th anniversary and Teacher's Day.
 
Senior and recent members of all ages shared anecdotes, caught up on personal and professional news and participated in a raffle with lots of prizes. By all accounts, it was great fun!
 
See by yourself!
