On May 9th approximately 120 students and professors from the BA in ELT program at the Universidad Autonoma del Estado de Hidalgo in Pachuca attended a one and half hour plenary presentation entitled “Taking Over the Reins: Using Collaborative Reflection to Reach Personal Goals” facilitated by English Language Fellow Brigitte Miller. The participants reflected on issues of student and teacher motivation and collaborative teacher development. The Academic Week was well-organized by coordinators Bertha Paredes and Hilda Hidalgo who also took the Fellow on a tour of their amazing Self-Access Center where students can practice their English through games, movies, computer tasks and karaoke.
