Greetings!

I hope everyone is finding time for some relaxation during this season. In this June edition of the ITAIS Newsletter you will find three engaging and worthwhile articles written by ITA professionals as well as upbeat and informative letters from both the Chair and Secretary/Chair-Elect.

The first article is from a discussion presented at TESOL 2018 by Stacy Suhadolc and Derina Samuel about using authentic ITA teaching videos across universities. The written summary of this popular session also provides many valuable video links. The second article is written by a Ph.D candidate and a fellow teaching colleague, Babak Khoshnevisan. He provides a unique description of the developmental stages of a teacher from the perspective of an ITA. Finally, Rebecca Oreto, who I am sure many of you know in our ITA community, wrote the last article. Her article discusses how TOEFL Speaking scores can be used both as a guide for ITAs and their departments.

Our next ITAIS newsletter will be published in November. The article submission deadline is 15 October 2018. Please let me know if you have any questions about submitting an article or if you have an idea and wanted to discuss it with me first.

Thank you,

Laura
