LEADERSHIP UPDATES LETTER FROM THE PAST CHAIR Kristen Lindahl, The University of Texas, San Antonio, Texas
Dear TESOL Teacher Educators, It was a pleasure serving as the chair of the Teacher Education Interest Section (TEIS) for 2019–2020, and I’m eager to highlight the innovative work that one of our colleagues has undergone this year to further our profession. Most recently, TEIS Chair, Dr. Faridah Pawan of Indiana University, moderated a webinar entitled “Cultural Differences in Online Cross-Cultural Dialogues.” This timely discussion featured a conversation with scholars from Florida State University about their research on cultural differences in online environments across different global regions. They outlined factors impacting online communication, like EFL/ESL, national culture, organizational culture and techno-culture, and discussed pedagogical implications of their findings. The webinar is available at the link below, as is their research article.
We’d also love the chance to publish your original research or pedagogy article in future TEIS newsletters, so send your manuscripts toteis.newsletter@gmail.com. Wishing you an engaging and inspiring year ahead, Kristen Lindahl |
