Lillian Acker, Ashland University

The next TESOL Conference will be held in Columbus on November 15-16, 2013 at the downtown Hilton where our Central States Conference was held this year. The Conference title is Crossroads, Connections, Collaboration and will once again have a digital lab which has turned out to be very popular.

Our keynote speaker will be Deborah Short, a co-developer of the SIOP Model for sheltered instruction.  This model is a research based protocol for teaching English Language Learners in the most effective way.

The call for proposals is out on our website: http://ohiotesol.org presently and all are due by June 21st.
