Applied Linguistics Winter Conference Breaks All Attendance Records
Seventeen subways under repair couldn’t keep record numbers of TESOLers from making their way to Upper Manhattan to the Applied Linguistics Winter Conference at Teachers College on Saturday, February 12. More than ever, professional events offered by New York State TESOL are drawing members and new members as school systems cut budgets for professional development and the job market continues to shrink. For a modest registration fee, TESOLers were able to attend any number of workshops and presentations including the plenary address by Dr. James E. Purpua, have breakfast and lunch, network with old and new colleagues, peruse classroom materials, and not go home hungry with a wine and cheese reception. For all this, a special round of applause goes to the volunteers and co-chairs Farah Akbar and Fred Tsutagawa, who kept presenters and participants moving in the right direction throughout the day.
With all that is at stake these days with issues of performance-based pay, rebuilding weak curricula, school closings, and dwindling enrollments, New York State TESOL is becoming a one-stop resource for educators by providing One-Day Mini Conferences such as the ALWC and the many events that are offered throughout the year. ___________________________________________________________________
