Blended Learning: A Recipe for the Future

By Toby Brody, Director of ESL North Carolina State University

Educators spend seemingly endless amounts of time engaged in discussions about “learning” and how to deliver strategies that lead to student success. A cursory examination of ESL conference pro-grams confirms that ESL teachers are absorbed with seeking fresh and innovative approaches that pro-vide current best practices as the field continues to evolve. We have become adept at practicing the more conventional approaches that dominated the field at the time of training, those that expanded our knowledge base and yielded promising results. Our already overflowing bag of tricks will need to make room for one of the hottest strategies to appear in recent times, reflective of the revolutionary advances in technology and the acceptance of cyberspace as a bona fide instructional venue. The recent approach making an appearance in education circles across the country is termed “blended” or hybrid learning.” This mode of learning is an outgrowth of distance learning, and combines virtual (either synchronic or asynchronic) learning and reduced classroom time, and allows for students to work independently or collaboratively.

Blended or hybrid learning redesigns the traditional lecture style of instruction. Transforming conventional classroom delivery to blended or hybrid learning takes planning time, as well as techno-logical expertise, and students should be able to function in a self-paced, ambiguous, unstructured for-mat. Students are involved in making decisions affecting their learning to a far greater degree than seen in most classrooms. Edu-cators are predicting that most future classrooms will have blended or hybrid approaches driving the delivery of content. Will you be ready for the transition?

4th TALGS Conference

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Donna Christian

Bilingualism for All Students through Two-Way Immersion

Saturday, February 10, 2007, Bate 1031 (Time TBA on the conference site)

This presentation provides an overview of two-way immersion, synthesized from research conducted by the Center for Applied Linguistics (CAL), including extensive information collected from programs around the country. Two-way immersion education is a challenging model to implement well because it involves pro-viding instruction in two languages to integrated groups of students. Among the issues to be examined are: goals of two-way immersion, key components of effective programs, and issues in design and imple-mentation. Findings from a national research project will be presented, along with information about re-sources that are currently available.

February 10, 2007 hosted by East Carolina University

Charting a Path to Bilingualism for Our Students

Friday, February 9, 2007 3-4:30 pm, Bate 1026

In the United States, two language-related issues receive substantial popular attention. On the one hand, the U.S. lacks the language resources (in languages other than English) to meet its diplomatic, economic, security, and social goals. On the other, students in U.S. schools are increasingly diverse, and their home languages are not usually viewed as resources to be developed. A unified response to their issues can be found in creating pathways for individual students to follow through the educational system that lead them to bilingualism. In this presentation, the characteristics of such paths are discussed, along with policies and practices that support their creation.

Memories of My First ELL

Teachers, like their students, have memories of many firsts. In our Fall 2006 class

Teaching Reading and Writing to K-12 Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), the first activity was

to consider a series of questions regarding the first, or an early ELL teaching experience. Recalling

those memories, reflections were written and posted in this online class. The guiding questions

were:

1. I had my first English language learner...

2. One thing I remember about him or her is...

3. Something I did that probably helped is...

4. One thing I wish I’d done is...

5. Over time I’ve probably taught ______ ELLs.

6. If I had a magic wand, I’d...

The reflections posted demand (in my ear anyhow) wider sharing. I asked for and received

permission to select excerpts and publish them for that wider sharing. The authors are your profes-

sional colleagues in our Carolina TESOL network. Here are but a few of the memories collected.

More may appear in the next issue, a continued column so to speak. May reading of the following

evoke wonderful memories across the Carolinas:

• How I began teaching ESOL? It was definitely through the back door but the best back

door I've ever walked through.

(continued page 8)

PERSPECTIVES ON FIRST MEMORIES

• She knew that I expected her to work and to learn something every day. I talked with her as

if she understood every word I spoke. I looked her straight in the eyes and tried my best to let

her know that I was there to help and encourage as she began to live in a different world that

she did not understand.

• One thing I wish I could have done is left my door open to write letters of recommendation

for him in the future..... He was so bright and I hope he is doing well wherever he is.

• I had to learn to present work in a way that he could understand...from gestures to hands-

on…. I used the strategies from my early teaching experiences to communicate with him. I

asked my colleagues for assistant and I researched online.

• My first ESOL learners were a mix of 3rd to 5th graders during a summer school session in

2001. More than half were from South America and the rest from Mexico. They were so

glad to have a bilingual teacher and they were eager learn. We quickly learned about each

other through sharing our experiences in this country. From there we started learning Eng-

lish; anxiety was low and expectations were high. We had fun that summer and many did

not want the session to end. We built a community of learners, with unique talents, and a

common purpose.

• If I had a magic wand, I would give ELLs bookstore gift certificates so they can keep their

own books and not have to return a book, like at the library.

Do you hear yourself in any or all of the above? May our magic wands do good work this year.

SE TESOL 2006

The 21st annual Southeast Regional TESOL Conference took place on November 29-December 2, 2006, at the Pea-body Hotel next to the convention center in downtown Little Rock, Arkansas.

The Peabody, like its relative in Memphis (remember the SE Regional in 1995?) is graced with a confusion of ducks that live atop one part of the hotel but parade downstairs daily to the fountain in the hotel lobby. The splendor of the sur-roundings could hardly be matched.

The caliber of the presentations would also have few rivals. A pre-conference workshop on Differentiated Instruc-tion was led by Lynda Franco, the President of Olé Education. David and Yvonne Freeman (University of Texas at Brownsville) discussed “Closing the Achievement Gap for English Language Learners;” Deputy Secretary of Education Raymond Simon talked about connectedness, including a relatively recent decision by the government that LEP students had to be included in the educational process; Dr. Keith Folse of the University of Central Florida spoke about “Ten Things that I Wish I Had Known Before I Took Up TESOL;” and the final plenary speaker, Dr. MaryEllen Vogt of Cali-fornia State University, Long Beach, light-heartedly listed “Vogt’s Top Ten; or What I’ve Learned About Teaching Read-ing.” About 525 people attended 70 concurrent sessions, something for everyone, and one presenter came all the way from Cyprus.

People at the conference had the opportunity to tour the Clinton Presidential Library, and a letter from President Clinton was read that welcomed us and noted how important ESL education is.

Amidst this the Regional Council put a final form to the proposed Constitution and Bylaws for SE TESOL. These would create an additional affiliate of TESOL, something needed largely for legal reasons. Although an individual affili-ate can obtain insurance to protect conference organizers against natural and other disasters, this is in some places possi-ble only if the conference carries the affiliate’s name; individual members of the TNT Executive Board had to accept per-sonal liability in order to arrange the 2004 SE Regional. There have, in the 21 years of existence of the SE TESOL, never been any legal problems; but what if New Orleans (which hosted in 2003) had been the scheduled host in the Year of Katrina? The new SE TESOL affiliate will eliminate the legal side of this problem.

This was ArkTESOL’s first ever SE Regional, and the relatively new TESOL affiliate did a terrific job, with a per-sonal touch; ArkTESOL President Judy Hobson introduced plenary speakers not as pillars of wisdom with long resumés but rather as friends—which is how everyone behaved.

Little Rock is a long way away, but the weather was bracing, the ideas and expertise fast and furious, the trolleys festooned with wreaths and tiny white lights, and the ducks not molting. Next year’s SE Regional will be hosted by Ken-tucky TESOL on similar dates, November 29-December 1, 2007, at the Louisville Downtown Marriot Conference Center.

Meanwhile, the Carolina TESOL web site already lists four ESL conferences coming up in the Carolinas before the end of June. Don’t miss out.

Rogers, Amy Hurka-Owen, Judy Cheatham, Bonnie Parsons

Via Telephone Conference: Pat Majors

Reports:

Treasurers Report:

Approximately $76,694 in our accounts. Money Market Account $69,846.70. Checking account balance $6,847.37.

At this point no money has been received for Winston-Salem conference.

Conferences are important to our budget. Membership is folded into the conference fee.

Fall 2007 Conference will be November 1-4, 2007 in Asheville, NC. Rates $129.00/night. Room rates are based on

expenditures of $1500 in meeting room space as well as $25,000.00 in food.

Beginning discussion for Fall 2009 Conference-Looking for location in North Carolina and chair.

Larry has discussed with CPA our tax exempt status. It seems we will be able to back file our taxes. Once we fol-

low proper procedures we should receive proper status. This is all in the works. Hopefully this will be taken care

of by January 1, 2007.

Membership/New Business:

What is CTESOL? What are benefits of being a member? Recertification credit for attending conferences, new-

letter, Professional Organization. Regional Rep could present staff development for schools of new members.

Roberto discussed beginning a marketing campaign. Focus on areas of high population of ESOL students. Cam-

paign will focus on inviting mainstream teachers to TESOL Conferences. Breakout sessions must include infor-

mation for these teachers. Karen asked Roberto to recap this with afternoon group.

Breakout Groups:

Membership Fee: Larry discussed why we have a membership fee when no one ever pays for it outside of the Con-

ference fee. He suggested dropping the membership fee. This will be a way to increase membership in CTESOL.

This would increase our database as an organization. It was suggested that members must attend a conference

within two years or membership would be dropped. Discussion was made as to how the attendance or lack of

would be monitored. Suggested a letter or email be sent out when two years are up. This would affect the mem-

bership director. Bill suggested we allow the membership director, Ian Brailsford, to make some of the decisions.

Cindy proposed we table this discussion for membership until membership can be polled at February Conference.

Seconded by Bill Isler.

At the February Conference we will hear more about membership.

Bill Isler made a proposal Regional Reps be contacted to package a presentation for Staff Development or other

ideas for mainstream teachers. Also proposed ESOL Teachers presenting at other conferences. CTESOL possibly

providing teachers with a scholarship for doing so.

(continued page 11)

11

Andrea Belletti proposed going through Regional Reps to advertise TESOL Conferences. Bill Isler seconded.

Provide a flyer from Regional to Metro to ESOL teachers to advertise TESOL Conferences.

LISTSERV Dilemma:

Amy Hurka-Webslave. Set up the newslist. Started an Executive Board List. Karen Brown and Gail Rogers are

moderators. Question: Who on the board should be on the list? How big do we want the list? Karen suggested

executive board members as well as appointed and honorary members.

Amy discussed a separate site set up for Metro and Regional Reps. Bonnie asked if Migrant Education persons

will be added to the Executive Board. Bonnie suggested considering placing these people on the separate board.

Pat suggested they be added to the Metro Groups.

Webpage update:

Executive Board Member: Yahoo has a group list. One is already set up for Board Members. When we need to

talk to board members we can email each member directly. This allows us to archive discussions and have a file

depository. Membership database, forms, etc. Very easy to use through Yahoo.

Other Newslist: General Membership. Why do we have two websites? Reasons given were that members can

email each other. There is a place for common questions a teacher may ask. Directions for the website are as fol-

lows. Website: CarolinaTesol.org. Click on list serve. This will open up CarolinaTesol. Direct address:

groups.yahoo.com/group/cartesol.

We need members to participate in discussions on this website. Purpose of list serve is for information that is

changing. The website is for permanent information. Calendars, etc.

Judy Cheatham asked Amy to make a short explanation to of our websites to be placed in a flyer Judy will be

sending out regarding the Conference information.

Amy asked board members to look at both websites and provide feedback.

Amy has drafted two websites:

One is basic. Can click on pronunciation, etc.

The other website is more beautiful. Has several links and more texts. It is prettier but must receive text.

Karen commented both websites are beneficial. Judy proposed handouts be posted on the links.

Need feedback on 2 websites by Nov. 17, 2007

Online registration-Members complete registration form ASAP.
