Special Interest Groups

Through this strategy ASOCOPI strengthens the Colombian ELT community by providing a forum for the exchange of ideas between the different SIGs and their members. We believe that the exchange of ideas and experiences between teachers is a source of professional growth — and that it is far more significant when it is informed by research and sustained dialogue with members of research groups.
