Dear SPLISers,
Greetings from sunny Florida!
I hope those of you who were able to attend this year’s
convention came away reinvigorated by the sessions you attended and
connections you made. If you were unable to attend this year’s
convention, I know our newsletter editors have lined up some articles in
this newsletter from our fantastic presenters.
I was honored to be nominated as SPLIS chair-elect for this
year. I am excited about the Academic Session we are organizing for the
2015 convention in Toronto related to oral language fluency. It is also a
wonderful experience working with the SPLIS leadership board. I would
like to encourage those of you who might be interested to contact one of
us about how you can be more involved. It’s a great way to get to know
your fellow SPLISers a bit better while giving back to this vibrant
community.
For many of us, we are about to embark upon another school
year. I wish you the best of luck in your pursuits and hope you have a
successful year!
Amanda Huensch
SPLIS Chair-Elect, 2014–2015
Amanda Huensch received her PhD in linguistics from
the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She is currently
assistant professor of applied linguistics in the Department of World
Languages at the University of South Florida. |
