ESL Coordinator Receives Award

Our ESL Coordinator is in the news. Pauline Morris was presented the Hanesbrand, Inc. Leadership Award at a gala held Saturday, April 18th.

"Mrs. Morris was nominated for her outstanding leadership in our local community." (gala program excerpt)

In an e-mail to West Campus, Rafael Perez writes, "Every year, the [Hispanic] league nominates a Hispanic Leader that has made substantial contribution in our community. Mrs. Morris received a plaque at the gala, and thanked her staff and FTCC for their commitment."

In another presentation during the program, area students were presented with scholarships to further their educations. One of the recipients is the daughter of ESL department assistant Marisa Mysior.

It's nice to have the ESL program in the spotlight.

Resources - ESL CD's

Maxie has collected and catalogued a group of CD's from Community College ESL Programs across the state. These CD's are in Maxie's office in Room 4 and are available to be checked out. Subjects include civics education, health literacy, and real-world English.

Welcome

One of your colleagues, Dawn Martin, suggested that you should all have a blog to exchange ideas. Here is a beginning. I hope you will, if you do not already have one, create a Google account and post here.

As a final project for a Master's Degree in Educational Media/New Media, I've been creating a web site for the ESL department for students and instructors. If you haven't seen the work already, click the link below. It will be changing daily until April 15, the date the assignment is due, and likely beyond that, if I can find a spot to host the site. In any case, this blog will remain available to you all.
