Greetings from the Centro Cultural Colombo Americano, Cali. This year, our center was selected as the host of the ABLA (Association of Binational Centers of Latin America ) conference. This is an international event that will be attended by binational center leaders from North and South America. In addition to the ABLA leader’s conference, we will also be holding an ELT conference. That means that the Centro Cultural Colombo Americano, Cali ’s ELT conference, traditionally held in May, will be held on July 30 and 31, 2010.

This year’s ELT conference promises to be better than ever, with plenary speakers Jeremy Harmer, Julian Edge and Kathleen Bailey and the venue has changed too. It will take place at the Dann Carlton Hotel.

We are very pleased to invite you to our conference, either as an attendee or a presenter. Proposal forms for those of you interested in doing a presentation can be downloaded from our web page: www.colomboamericano.edu.co. Click on ABLA 2010, then click on ABLA ELT Proposal Form. Further information on the ABLA ELT conference such as the theme and registration form can also be found on our web page under ABLA2010. For out-of-towners, information on hotels, including the Dann Carlton, can also be found on our ABLA 2010 web page.

Hoping to see you in July!

Best regards,
