Welcome, Colleagues and Friends!

The 2014 Conference Committee welcomes you to Santa Clara and the 45th Annual CATESOL Conference! This year’s conference location, where creative Silicon Valley start-ups become global tech leaders, corresponds with the conference theme, think, connect, create and share. The conference sessions encourage you to do just that: think about your teaching and management practices, connect with other professionals, create new lessons or approaches gleaned from conference experiences, and share your ideas and experiences with others.

The conference kicks off with a lively plenary by TESOL Past President Kathleen Bailey, who focuses on creativity through “Making Connections: Making Meaning Meaningful.” An evening reception with light hors d’oeuvres and live music follows this plenary. On Friday, after morning concurrent sessions and the President’s Luncheon, local author and professor emeritus Francisco Jiménez relates his personal

experiences of learning English in his plenary, “Making Connections across Borders.” At the final plenary on Saturday morning, Columbia University professor Luciana de Oliveira guides teachers of all levels in California and Nevada to consider their pedagogical practices by “Thinking about Common Core Standards: Connecting, Creating and Sharing Insights.”

In addition to these engaging plenaries, you have many choices to make from a wide variety of workshops, panels, papers, posters, and teaching tips presented by TESOL professionals, as well as interest group and educational level lunch rap sessions, meetings, and tech workshops. The publishers at this conference also have much to offer; in addition to the daily Exhibit Hall hours, each day includes a dedicated hour for you to explore their exhibits. Because Friday and Saturday are very full days, we provide complimentary continental breakfast items in the Exhibit Hall for early risers. To get the most out of this weekend, we hope you stay for the in-depth Sunday workshops presented by leaders in our field – included with full conference registration. Finally, we can’t forget the social events! Besides the opening reception on Thursday, the CATESOL Conference Committee invites you to socialize with new acquaintances at Friday evening’s escorted dinners, put up your feet at the Friday night movie screening, and get your groove on (and win a few prizes!) at CATESOL Education Foundation’s Saturday Nite Sizzle.

Much to do, much to decide: our goal is for you to leave the conference feeling “tired, but inspired,” and eager to try a new method, resource, or materials that you learned about or discovered over these four days. The tech giants of Santa Clara started small; perhaps you, too, can turn a spark of inspiration from this conference into the next TESOL game-changer.

This conference could never have occurred without countless hours of work done by many people. My sincerest thanks go to the very hardworking members of the 2014 Conference Committee (listed on page 6). Special thanks go to Roshini Joseph, Mahsa Modirzadeh, Valerie Kiadeh, and organizational powerhouse Sharmin Khan. I also thank YOU for attending the conference and helping to make it a success!

Welcome from the President and the CATESOL Board of Directors.

Welcome to CATESOL’s 2nd fall-based Annual Conference! Just by registering and now being on site, you have made a commitment to being active in the organization! Now that you are here, you are investing in your professional development and “getting that momentum” right at the beginning of this new and exciting school year. Your conference participation not only benefits you, but also solidly supports the hard work done by the scores of dedicated volunteers who have made this event possible. You are also sending the message to the presenters that you welcome their generosity and professional desire to share their materials, theories, research, and teaching tips.

We in California and Nevada are very proud of our CATESOL organization and what it does for its teachers and their students. In an effort to improve all that a CATESOL

Annual Conference has to offer, we at the Board have become more and more active at the pre-planning level, thus freeing up the on-site team to focus exclusively on the conference itself and put as much energy as possible into making each conference day dynamic and letting the conference develop its own local personality. As a reminder, the Board will have its annual Saturday afternoon Town Hall Meeting and Business Meeting to which all are invited to attend.

It is our membership that keeps us active and strong, so be sure to keep your CATESOL membership current. I used to be one of the worst offenders and always “assumed” I was a member just because I was teaching ESL. And, to be perfectly frank, I never knew where my membership card was. I have reformed and now feel I am really a part of the organization. You can check the current status of your membership by looking in the upper left-hand corner of our twice-monthly CATESOL Update, which comes to you via e-mail. If you are not receiving the Update, please contact [email protected]

What a wonderful way to start the academic year! Now, get out there and enjoy, share, network, sharpen your skills, and mark your calendars for 2015 Anaheim!

Ellen Lange, President, 2013 – 2014.

OPENING PLENARY 7:00 – 8:30 PM Grand Ballroom E

Creative Connections: Making Meaning Meaningfulkathleen Bailey

What is creativity? When we think about the arts, inventions, and innovations, what do we mean when we say that someone is creative? How do teachers use creativity to support students’ learning? Dr. Bailey examines teachers’ creative uses of visual imagery to help learners connect the new to the known by considering examples from both language teaching and teacher training, including applications of pictures, models, figures, and physical actions that help learners activate their appropriate background knowledge structures and retain new concepts.

Dr. Bailey, professor of Applied Linguistics and TESOL Teacher Education at the Monterey Institute of International Studies and the Anaheim University TESOL Master’s program, has research interests in language acquisition, research methodology, and language assessment. Her textbooks, articles, and contributions to the TESOL industry through her plenary work and workshops are recognized locally and internationally. She has received numerous awards, such as the Alatis Award for service to TESOL, the Heinle Lifetime Achievement Award, and the Leslie Eliason Award for Excellence in Teaching. She served as President of TESOL 1998-1999.Since 2009, she has been President and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of The International Research Foundation for English Language Education. She is also the Second Vice President of the American Association for Applied Linguistics.

Making Connections across BordersDr. Francisco Jiménez

As a child growing up in a family of Mexican migrant workers knowing only Spanish, my greatest challenge in school was learning English. In this plenary, I relate some of the personal experiences I had in school that helped me meet this challenge and discover the value and power of language and literature.

Dr. Jiménez has served on various professional boards and commissions, such as the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing, California Council for the Humanities, the Far West Lab for Educational Research and Development, and ALearn. Several of his autobiographical books, The Circuit: Stories from the Life of a Migrant Child, Breaking Through, and The Christmas Gift have won literary awards, such as the Américas Book Award and the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award. 2002, CASE and Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching selected him as the U.S. Professor of the Year. Currently the Fay Boyle Professor in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at Santa Clara University, he holds honorary degrees from De Anza College and the University of San Francisco.

Thinking about Common Core Standards:Connecting, Creating, and Sharing InsightsLuciana C. de Oliveira

The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) present several challenges for teachers and learners as well as specific language expectations and possibilities. Dr. de Oliveira shows how the CCSS have become more specialized and linguistically complex across grades K-12 and how teachers can address this complexity by integrating content and language development with a focus on the CCSS and the new CA ELA/ELD Framework. She asks conference participants who work at all levels, not just K-12, to think about key pedagogical practices to engage ELLs with the CCSS within the CA ELA/ELD Framework as they share their insights with others, and possibly create new practices together as part of this plenary.

Dr. de Oliveira, an associate professor of TESOL and Applied Linguistics at Teachers College, Columbia University, specializes in language teaching in the content areas at the K-12 levels and teacher preparation.Her most recent publications include L2 writing in secondary classrooms: Academic issues, student experiences and teacher education (Routledge, 2013) and Teacher education for social justice: Perspectives and lessons learned (Information Age Publishing, 2013).

9:00 AM – 12:00 PM Hyatt LafayetteE, SCommon Core Standards: Scaffolding Instruction for English Language LearnersGeorge C. Bunch, University of California, Santa CruzWhat are the language-related challenges associated with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), and how can opportunities associated with those challenges be realized for English Learners? After considering the essential role of scaffolding for both language and content development in an age of new content area standards, Dr. Bunch introduces a middle school ELA unit that exemplifies the kinds of shifts necessary to deepen and accelerate instruction for English learners (ELs) to meet the standards. Given some guidelines for instructional materials development, participants reflect on ways to apply them to different grade levels and subject areas.

Dr. Bunch is an Associate Professor of Education at the University of California, Santa Cruz. His research focuses on language and literacy challenges and opportunities for English learners in K-12 and higher education and on policies and practices designed to serve them.

9:00 AM – 12:00 PM Hyatt Lawrence/San TomasCU, CC, IEPHelping Students Understand and Respond to Writing Assignments across the CurriculumJan Frodesen, University of California, Santa BarbaraLía kamhi-Stein, California State University, Los Angeles

College students encounter many types of writing assignments in their coursework across the curriculum, whether in the humanities, sciences, or social sciences. These assignments often differ markedly from the essay genres students learned to write in first-year composition courses. In this workshop, participants use a set of guidelines to examine writing assignments from both lower and upper division courses in a range of disciplines. Group discussions enable them to identify the challenges these assignments might pose for multilingual writers and consider how students can address them. Next, the presenters lead participants intext-based tasks designed to teach students how to respond to writing assignments, such as implementing critical reading strategies and writing about graphic information.

Jan Frodesen, Director of English for Multilingual Students and Senior Lecturer with Security of Employment (SOE) at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), has taught undergraduate writing courses in the UC system for over 30 years, most recently a first-year composition for multilingual writers in UCSB’s English for Multilingual Students (EMS) Program and an upper division writing course for international transfer students in the Writing Program. An active participant in articulation efforts involving the three California postsecondary systems, she has served as Chair of UC’s system-wide Committee on Preparatory Education and Chair of UCSB’s Undergraduate Council. Among her publications, she has co-authored several books for college-level students, including an advanced level grammar textbook, a content-based series for academic preparation, and a textbook on vocabulary and grammar for academic writing. Recent research has focused on the academic literacy development of generation 1.5 students and applications of corpus linguistics to writing and pedagogical grammar.

Lía D. Kamhi-Stein, a professor in the M.A. in TESOL Program at California State University, Los Angeles (CSULA), teaches courses on the reading/writing connection, educational sociolinguistics, and methods of second language teaching. She has authored or co-authored articles focusing on generation 1.5 students and their reading practices and beliefs, as well as English for academic purposes. She has also published severaledited and co-edited books concentrating on a variety of topics. Among other honors,she is a recipient of TESOL’s Excellence in Teaching Award and the CSULA Outstanding Professor Award. Her research interests include issues related to academic literacy, nonnative English-speaking professionals, and the integration of technology in the classroom.

9:00 AM – 12:00 PM Hyatt Stevens CreekAllTeaching and Practicing the Three Hardest ESL Grammar Points: Present Perfect, Prepositions, and Phrasal Verbskeith Folse, University of Central FloridaAll languages have components that are extremely difficult for nonnative speakers to acquire. Like all languages, English grammar seems to have a multitude of difficult aspects, but what would the top 3 grammar nightmares for English language learners be? In this workshop, the presenter explains why the top honors should go to the 3 P’s: present perfect, prepositions, and phrasal verbs. Using contrastive analysis as well as research findings from second language acquisition, participants come to see why these three categories merit this infamous award and consider ways of teaching them using classroom activities that help learners practice their form and function.

Keith Folse, a Professor of TESOL at the University of Central Florida, teaches in the M.A., Ph.D., and undergraduate certificate programs. He has taught ESL/EFL for more than thirty years in the U.S., Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Japan, and Kuwait. In addition, he has taught French in the US and Spanish in Japan. He has always been interested in materials writing and is the author of 60 books on a variety of subjects from grammar to vocabulary to composition, including six best-selling books in the Great Writing series (National Geographic Cengage Learning) and Keys to Teaching Grammar and Clear Grammar (University of Michigan Press).Having studied six foreign languages, some while living in a foreign country and some as a student in a classroom, Dr. Folse is particularly interested in the role of grammar and vocabulary in successful second language learning.
