A Great Talk on English Language Learners (free lunch!)
Please join us on Weds, 10/16, from 12-2, in the DLC (Ponderosa F103) for a talk by Dr. Hetty Roessingh, University of Calgary.
Dr. Roessingh research program focuses on the instructional needs of learners (K – 12) for whom English is a second language (ESL). Her published works have included tracking studies for ESL high school dropout and achievement outcomes in grade 12; rates of English language acquisition; ESL curriculum and program and materials design. Her current interest includes funded program development and research on the transitional supports from high school to university that can produce better academic outcomes for English language learners (ELLs).
We’ll have more information shortly about the specifics of the talk she will give soon, but for now, save the date!
A light lunch will be served.
