Hello everyone!
We hope you are well. Welcome to the winter ITAIS newsletter of 2022. The ITA working group, the listserv, and the webinars have continued to help us maintain our connections with one another and learn from one another. We hope you were also able to participate in one or a few of these online professional learning communities!
In this issue, we have an article by Cynthia DeRoma addressing the critical issue of testing of ITAs. Then, Stacy Suhadolc discusses using 360° virtual videos to support the teaching of ITAs. We also have an article on teaching innovations and research in ITA programs by multiple contributors: Haley Dolosic, Suzie Ji, and Katya Arshavskaya. Additionally, we revisit our ITA Working Group to learn about its staying power in: Let’s Get Together, contributed by Sarah Emory, Liz Tummons, Alissa Cohen, & Haley Dolosic. Lastly, the article submitted by Edna Lima focuses on teaching prominence to ITAs in order to increase their comprehensibility.
And don’t forget to check out our community events page and contact James Coda to let him know what webinars you want to see this coming year!
Thank you all for contributing to this newsletter and/or reading it! Please keep sending us your work and hope to see you at one of the upcoming events hosted by TESOL.
See you virtually and in-person!
