MLA Convention

You may know the Modern Language Association from using MLA citation style. But did you know that the MLA hosts the largest scholarly meeting in the humanities?

Well, we do! The MLA Annual Convention is a dynamic gathering of scholars and teachers of languages and literatures. The face-to-face environment enables attendees to connect with peers and to participate in conversations that shape the profession. Sessions cover a wide range of topics, from pedagogy to professional service to new developments in digital humanities, and all provide ample opportunities for networking.

Moreover, the MLA Annual Convention is open to faculty members and students at all levels. Everyone is welcome at the MLA Annual Convention! If you teach or study literature, writing, or language—at any level—I urge you to attend this year’s MLA Annual Convention in New York City (4–7 January 2018).

Co-Teaching for English Learners Webinar:
How to Maximize Collaborative Practice, Instruction, Assessment & Reflection
Presented by Maria G. Dove and Andrea Honigsfeld

The proof is borne out by any assessment: our non-native speakers learn faster and achieve more when general ed and EL teachers co-plan and co-deliver instruction in the very same classroom. That’s why you won’t want to miss this webinar from EL experts Maria G. Dove and Andrea Honigsfeld. Step by step, they’ll walk you through the entire collaborative instruction cycle, along with seven potential models from which to choose.

Whether you’re new to co-teaching or simply in search of additional details, attend this webinar for:

In-depth profiles of the seven models
Advantages and challenges of each model
Clear explanations of each teacher’s role
Tried-and-true strategies for the entire instructional cycle: co-planning, co-instruction, co-assessment, and reflection
When? October 23. Time? 3:30 PST/6:30 EST. Cost? FREE!

American University’s Bilingual Education Program and Virginia International University’s School of Education are proud to present a guest lecture entitled

Utah’s Dual Language Immersion Programs: Setting a New Standard

by Sheri Anderson, Ph.D., University of Utah

Tuesday, February 18, 2014
4:30 pm to 5:30 pm

American University
SIS Room 300
4400 Massachusetts Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20016

Utah leads the nation in its statewide implementation of dual language immersion programs in the public schools in five languages: Chinese, French, German, Portuguese and Spanish. A projected 30,000 students will be enrolled in these programs by 2015 in grades K-9, and initial research findings indicate a variety of benefits beyond high proficiency in both languages, including more positive attitudes toward other cultures and standardized test scores that equal or surpass those of non-immersion students.

This session will provide an overview of the Utah DLI model, educational policies and practices, participant demographics, and ground-breaking research that is being conducted on dual-immersion programs, students, and teachers. It will also include an introduction to the Dual Language Immersion Research Advisory Board, a body of experts appointed to assist those interested in conducting research with Utah DLI programs. The session will end with information regarding how to get licensed to work in immersion education and the many opportunities available to conduct research on our programs, followed by a Q&A session focusing on topics of interest to attendees.

All are welcome to attend!

– Motivation

– Technology
– Cross-linguistic influences

– Feedback

2014 Conference on Language, Society, and Culture

Theme: Storytelling and Academic Discourse

March 7, 2014
At Bronx Community College, CUNY
Sponsored by: Bronx Community College, CUNY
Co-Sponsor: NYS TESOL

We invite proposals for 30-minute presentations (20-minute talks and 10 minutes for questions) on original research or pedagogical practices related to Language, Society and Culture. The theme, Storytelling and Academic Discourse, aims to open up conversations about the following questions: How do we conceive academic discourse? How do our conceptions inform our teaching practices? Are academic discourse and storytelling compatible? If so, what are some points of contact, and how can they benefit our students? How do we take into account the linguistic and cultural diversity of our students as we bring academic discourse—and possibly storytelling—into our classrooms?

Please send as an attachment a 300-word abstract and a 50-word summary for the conference program to the attention of Andrea Parmegiani, Conference Chair, at the following address: Language_Society2014@outlook.com mailto:Language_Society2014@outlook.com

We need your help! The 43rd Annual NYS TESOL Conference will be held this year at The Crowne Plaza in White Plains, New York on November 15th and 16th, 2013. Our exciting conference theme this year is The Core of TESOL: Curriculum, Communication and Collaboration.

The success of our annual conference depends on many factors, not the least of which is the participation of volunteers. We need volunteers who will: work a shift at the registration or hospitality table or simply help attendees find their way around the conference. In addition, we need volunteers to serve as facilitators for individual workshop presenters.

All student volunteers will receive a substantial discount when they register for the conference. We request that you volunteer at least 2 hours of your time to be eligible for this discount.(See the NYS TESOL web site for more detailed information.) Please sign up for a time slot for either Friday, November 15th or Saturday, November 16th.

For more information about volunteering at the 2013 NYS TESOL Conference visit our web site, http://www.nystesol.org or contact me at volunteers@nystesol.org

Volunteering is a great way to get to know more about NYSTESOL, to network with other members attending the conference, and to meet the Executive Board members.

I know this because I was a volunteer, too, not so long ago!

We look forward to meeting and working with you at the upcoming fall
conference!

Sincerely,

Barbara Suter, Volunteer Chair

A Pearson Webinar – Look for it on the Pearson ELT website

Make sure you don’t miss out on our latest online presentation in
The Harmer Lectures series coming this April.

This live online workshop is all about Classroom Management, as voted by many of the participants on our last lecture. Read Jeremy Harmer’s introduction below:

“All teachers have days when classes get out of hand, or when things just don’t work. This doesn’t often happen, though, with well-managed lessons.

So we’d better talk about what a well-managed lesson looks like! That’s what I will do in this talk.

Look forward to welcoming you online!”

Jeremy Harmer

We are running this free online presentation twice to ensure you get the chance to attend at a time suitable for you.

Date: Wednesday 17th April 2013

Times: 12.00 noon BST (London) and 18.00 BST (London)*

To find out more and register, click here.

Please note, places are limited so make sure you check your diary and register soon to ensure you reserve your place.

Attendees will receive a certificate after the event.

Professor Paul Kei Matsuda, one of the nation’s foremost scholars in multilingual writing, will visit Syracuse University.

Thursday April 4th Keynote Address: “Reimagining Student Writers in the Global U.S. Higher Education,” 3:30-4:50 in 500 HL.

Friday, April 5th Interdisciplinary Workshop: Paul’s workshop for teachers across disciplines will take place from 2:00-4:00 p.m in 500 HL.

His plans for the workshop include a presentation and discussion of his “Let’s Face It: Language Issues and the Writing Program Administrator” article, published in the WPA Journal in 2012.  Paul notes that he has chosen this article for conversation at the workshop because of his view that “this is the most controversial but interesting and important issue that many teachers—from across the disciplines need to consider.” Certainly his argument that assessment practices must be adjusted to take into account the complexity of second language acquisition is a provocative and important claim to consider in an educational environment that includes an increasingly diverse student population.

Professor Matsuda, a faculty member at Arizona State University, is a leading figure nationally in the area of second-language writing and linguistics. He is the author of numerous seminal publications arguing for a multilingual approach to language instruction and is founding chair of the Symposium on Second Language Writing, the Conference on College Composition and Communication’s Committee on Second Language Writing, and former chair of the Nonnative English Speakers in TESOL Caucus. He will begin a term as 2nd Vice President and President-Elect of the American Association for Applied Linguistics in March, 2013. More information about his work is available on his website: http://matsuda.jslw.org/.

SUPER-LECNY Workshop Conference
For those who may not be familiar with this annual event, S.U.P.E.R. =Schools and Universities in Partnership for Educational Responsibility and LECNY=Language Educators of Central New York (formerly FLACNY) have coordinated this event for more than 25 years, and I’ve been the LECNY liaison for almost all of those years, working with an S.U. grad assistant.

Our format for the last 5-8 years, and the preferred one by our members and participants, is a morning devoted to nearly a dozen short presentations giving everyone something of professional interest.  Our audience and presenters are regional language instructors.  It is always the first Saturday in February:
Sat. Feb. 2, 2013.  Since the sponsor is Syracuse University we meet in the Goldstein Student Center
on Skytop Rd. Syracuse from 8:30 until 12:00 with an optional cafeteria-style lunch included.  The registration form is now available on our LECNY website: lecny.org

It is a very economical event! ($5 for students, $10 LECNY members, $15 non-members which includes breakfast items, 10-12 mini-worshops, and lunch), and we normally have an audience of 60-70 folks.
