Adding a Few of Our Own
Several colleagues from our dept. presented at the conference. Kevin shared his signature research on a framework of a general language proficiency scale and how it links with modern-day SLOs.He blogged about his conference experience as well as his presentation here right afterwards.
Larry teamed up with Oxford University Press and promoted a promising set of new academic textbooks. He and his wife, Karen, also demonstrated their innovative Language & Lunch program that extends language passion beyond the classroom and allows students to practice speaking with a native speaker of the language they are learning.
Angela once again showed how even beginning students can build confidence in technology and increase their English skills at the same time by creating basic PowerPoint presentations. She has also summarized her conference experience here earlier.
Writing teacher Mark addressed the need for a large college-level vocabulary and the ways to teach it. He has given me permission to post his materials here: his PowerPoint slide show, his handout with brief examples of vocabulary activities, and his bibliography list.
(The end.)
