On Friday (22 May, 2009) a group of students from Programa de Formación Complementaria of Escuela Normal Superior María Auxiliadora, the ENSMA English Club committee members and I, went to Magdalena University to attend the ELT CONFERENCES SERIES :METHODOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS IN TEACHING ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE.

besides you can't see her, she is over there)
This time we had the opportunity to know about a technique called POWER TEACHING designed in 1999 by three Yucaipa, California educators: Chris Biffle, philosophy professor at Crafton Hills College, Jay Vanderfin, 3rd grade teacher at Mentone Elementary and Chris Rekstad, 4th grade teacher at Valley Elementary. This method may be used on students in kindergarten through college. The techniques used are similar to what great teachers have been doing for a long time, but Chris has boiled them down to several key techniques that anyone can use.
The conference, which was more than a that, a workshop, was leaded by teacher Sebastian Meza who did a fantastic introduction to the technique. Students and teachers could learn and try out the six steps of Power Teaching (PT) in a funny way.
