Ateneo confab develops the mind, body, heart
MANILA, Philippines - The Ateneo Center for English Language Teaching (ACELT), in honor of Fr.

Luz Elena Canilao (Loyola Schools), Workshop C: “Enriching Writing Through Modeling” by Fe de Jesus (Ateneo High School), and Workshop D: Personalizing Classroom Experience by Rowena Andrada (Ateneo Grade School).
