Dear BETA Member,
Between May 4 and 8, through funding from RELO Budapest, IATEFL-Hungary will be sponsoring a one-week English language learning mobile app ‘learn’-a-thon event in Budapest. Teams of 3 English language educators from each of RELO’s 17 countries will be invited to participate. At the end of the week, following a series of presentations and hands-on activities, the team with the winning app proposal will be offered the opportunity to 1) have the app actually developed and 2) attend the 2016 TESOL International Convention in Baltimore. All costs for this program will be fully covered by RELO, in cooperation with IATEFL-Hungary.
