 * World Languages Day -

Hi all! This is just a reminder that the [|World Languages Day] is coming up! It will be held here on campus on April 21, 2007 and is a great way to give our students a more in depth view of foreign languages and cultures. It could also show them the relevance of taking a FL in high school...

I believe we would need to pre-register for certain workshops. The cost is FREE and participants are provided with a FREE lunch as well! user:heinke_raymond


 * MiWLA & Central States Proposals Due

Cherice: Hi. I'm in class with my interns and on screen. One of my interns is talking about CSC and said that she and someone she met at the conference thought it would be a good idea to have a strand specifically for "teachers like them". . . newbies to the profession. Just thought I'd pass it along!

From tech2tech: what would be good is to ID a person who could run such a session and submit it.perhaps a panel of new teachersor, thinking of a veteran panel offering advice? all that is needed is someone to facilitate good idea - so instead of just talking, id folks to start and make it happne perhaps want to start with say 3 back to back sessions with that focus... on classroom management techniques, partner activities to encourage language use, how to advocate for your program... They need to submit now - deadline for miwla is April 1 and for csc
