2018 Carolina TESOL Fall Conference

Asheville, NC

November 7, 2018

As conference chair, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the annual Carolina TESOL Fall Conference in Asheville, NC. I

cannot think of a better place to be in the fall than in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina. We are very excited about this

year’s conference. My hope for each of you during this conference is that you will learn new strategies that you can take back

and apply with your students and/or teachers; meet new colleagues that you are able to network and collaborate with; but most

importantly, I hope that you enjoy yourself and have fun!

There are many wonderful things planned for this year’s conference. We have brought in some of the top speakers from

around the nation (Christine Mallinson, Valentina Gonzalez, Tatyana Kleyn, Fredricka Stoller, and William Grabe), as well as

many small group break-out sessions taught by our peers in the field. Additionally, we have a wide variety of vendors on hand to

show you the latest and greatest materials, so please make sure you stop by and check out their tables. This year, we are doing

something new! We want you to take advantage of the opportunities given to visit the vendor tables. You will be given a card to

collect signatures of each vendor. If you turn in a completed card with signatures from all of the vendors, your card will be

entered into a drawing for a special door prize. We are extremely grateful for our vendors and we want you to visit and mingle

with them and learn about all that they have to offer. Even if you are not the decision maker for your district when it comes to

what to buy, you can take information back to those people and let them know what you are interested in!

We’ve also brought back the regional round tables. We have done these for the past couple of years, and we always get

requests to bring them back. These sessions will provide you with the opportunity to meet and collaborate with others in your

area. Additionally, we have planned a meet and greet on Wednesday afternoon. This is just another way that you will be able to

network and collaborate with others in your field.

Our conference theme for this year, Aspire, Advocate, Achieve resonates through the different activities that are

planned. I hope that this conference inspires you to accomplish each of these three things. As I previously mentioned, one of my

main goals for you each year is to meet new colleagues that you are able to connect with in order to establish a personal network

of educators that you can turn to not just during the conference, but throughout the school year. I truly feel that we have planned

many things for you this year that will help you do just that.

Again, welcome to our conference, and I hope you have a wonderful time!

Sincerely, Christin Smith, Ed.D. Conference Chair/Secretary Carolina TESOL

KeyNote Speaker

Christine Mallinson

“Creating Linguistically Inclusive Classrooms and Schools” When author and professor Toni Morrison gave the Nobel Lecture after accepting the

Nobel Prize for Literature in 1993, she explained the centrality of language to our daily

lives: “We die. That may be the meaning of life,” Morrison said. “But we do language. That

may be the measure of our lives.” Our classrooms and schools are places where students,

parents, teachers and staff “do language” every day, in nuanced and complex ways that

reflect the identities of individual speakers as well as their connections to their families,

communities, and cultures. In this presentation, educators will learn strategies and

techniques for helping students “do language” in ways that develop their own unique voices

and academic self-confidence, while also guiding them to understand and appreciate others’

diverse modes of expression. When we value language diversity and nurture this resource in

our classrooms and schools, we create culturally and linguistically inclusive environments

that welcome, support, and empower the voices of the next generation of thinkers,

speakers, and writers, throughout North Carolina and beyond.

Christine Mallinson is Professor of Language, Literacy, and Culture at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. The author of three books and other publications, her research focuses on how language differences can affect student outcomes, and she regularly works with K-12 teachers across the U.S. to help make classrooms and schools more culturally and linguistically inclusive. A North Carolina native, Mallinson received her BA from UNC-Chapel Hill in 2000, her MA from North Carolina State University in 2002, and her PhD from North Carolina State University in 2006.

Plenary Speakers

Valentina Gonzalez “Redefining Family Engagement: A Path Towards True Partnerships”

English learners are facing a plethora of challenges in our nation’s educational and cultural environment today. By effectively and meaningfully engaging diverse parents, we can support our English learners as they travel the journey to success. Valentina Gonzalez is on a mission to assist educators as they overcome barriers and build partnerships with families of English learners. Parents are our greatest stakeholders. We need to amplify their voices and reimage family engagement to leverage student, school, and community growth. Coming from an immigrant family herself, Gonzalez is able to draw upon her own educational experiences to support educators today in creating authentic family engagement opportunities with English learner families.

Tatyana Kleyn “Stepping Up to Support Undocumented Students and Families in Turbulent Times”

Being an immigrant in the US has never been easy, but the current context has presented monumental challenges and fears. Policies and programs for undocumented immigrants are being challenged in courtrooms while negative discourse and ramped up policing of immigrant communities makes focusing on daily life difficult. This session will focus on the human impact of the presence and absence of programs such as DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) through a short documentary film titled, Still Living Undocumented: Five Years Later. Then an overview of current policies and suggested practices for educators will be provided to better support their undocumented students and families. AdvancED Accreditation Commission.

Plenary Speakers

Fredricka L. Stoller and William Grabe

“Exploring Ways to Teach More Effectively”

Everyone knows that there are always aspects of our teaching that can be improved or modified, in small or large ways, to help students be successful learners. Teachers, as busy as we all are, nonetheless have many opportunities to help their students become better learners. One way to accomplish this is through action research. Unlike more formal, larger scale research projects, action research allows practicing teachers to ask

questions about their own teaching and/or the learning outcomes of their students in a non-threatening way. The real appeal of action research—conducted individually or with colleagues—is that it permits us to examine our teaching in practical terms, at our own pace, and with our needs and our students’ needs in mind. In this interactive plenary, an easily adaptable seven–step action research process is presented. We also introduce a number of action research projects that can be models of this process for novice and experienced teachers.

Fredricka L. Stoller is Professor of English at Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, Arizona, where she teaches in the MA-TESL and Ph.D. in Applied Linguistics programs. Her professional areas of interest include L2 reading, content-based instruction, project-based learning, and disciplinary writing.

Newton et al., 2018, Routledge); co-author of Teaching and Researching Reading (with W. Grabe, 2nded., 2011, Routledge); co-editor of A Handbook for Language Program Administrators (2nded., 2012, Alta English Publishers); and co-author of Write Like a Chemist (2008, Oxford University Press). She has published in English for Specific Purposes, English Teaching Forum, Journal of English for Academic Purposes, and Reading in a Foreign Language. She was a Fulbright scholar in Turkey (2002-03), Timor Leste (2014), Vietnam (Spring 2018), and has trained EFL teachers, teacher trainers, and language program administrators in 30 other countries.

Promoting Linguistic Awareness on College Campuses As colleges and universities in the U.S. continue to diversify, it is just as important to cultivate a linguistically inclusive climate within higher education as it is within K-12 spheres. This breakout session discusses various initiatives from different U.S. colleges and universities that have raised awareness of linguistic diversity and helped support culturally and linguistically diverse students. Some projects that will be discussed include: school-university partnerships, service-learning projects, campus-wide programming, and technology-based initiatives, from publicly available podcasts that engage local communities to short videos that highlight linguistic diversity on campus. Each of these initiatives celebrates and promotes an appreciation for language and culture in ways that help build diverse, inclusive, and equitable university environments.

Paired interaction in assessing communicative competence This presentation reports on the validity of paired interaction in testing oral proficiency as an alternative to the traditional one on one test-taker interview with an examiner. Citing current research in language testing, the presenter argues that the paired test approach has more positive washback effect, requires more linguistically demanding tasks and it better reflects the type or oral interaction that the learners would likely encounter at the university.
