The goal of the BEIS online peer-reviewed newsletter, Bilingual Basics, is to provide a forum for the
discussion of educational and sociopolitical issues in pre-K through
postsecondary bilingual and multilingual educational settings around the
world including the teaching of English to Deaf students. The audience
for Bilingual Basics is bilingual teachers (including
Deaf educators), researchers, and teacher educators in TESOL. The
newsletter serves as a vehicle for the expression of ideas and
scholarship related to teaching and learning in bilingual classroom
settings. The newsletter also takes an advocacy position with respect to
bi-/multilingual education. It includes articles, research summaries,
book reviews, convention information, and general commentary.

20011 if of a general nature. (Summaries shorter than the length

further the dialogue related to bilingualism, multilingualism, and all
educational contexts for diverse language learners are also
appropriate;
- Summaries of BEIS talks or workshops that you presented or
