LEADERSHIP UPDATES MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR
Welcome to the preconference issue of TESOL Video News. I hope all of you will have enough rest during the break. After a year’s break, I am so glad to be back to the position that I have been doing for many years. So, hi to every one of my dear VDMIS members! This issue starts with a note from the chair, Jason Levin, a professional media English teacher. Timothy M. Cook has an article to share with us about his use of Skype as a language learning tool in the classroom. Then Annela Teemant and a number of other educators discuss ESL instructional coaching issues in their article, “Mainstream Teachers And Coaches Respond to ESL Instructional Coaching.” VDMIS is soliciting articles for future issues of TESOL Video News. If you are interested in using movies or creating digital media lessons, you are welcome to share your experience with us. Submit articles or announcements to kennethchyi@gmail.com. You may also send opinions and suggestions at any time to the leaders or to the e-list. We look forward to hearing from you. Kenneth Chi received his TESOL teacher certificate at Teachers College, Columbia University, and his MA from New York University, and is currently teaching at Catholic University & National Taipei University, Taipei, Taiwan. He has been teaching English as a foreign language for more than 10 years. His interests are incorporating movies and digital media into language lessons, assessment, and grammar teaching. |
