Hi All,

I'm happy to announce a Guest Speaker Discussion: February 15-22!

Please join us for a discussion with FOB author, Robin Schwarz.
We will discuss her article in the most recent FOB:

"Taking a Closer Look at Struggling ESOL Learners"
is about ESOL learners who seem â€*stuck†, and how we can find the real reasons for their struggles and find ways to get them back on track.

You can find this article at:
http://www.ncsall.net/index.php?id=994

Iâ€*ll post questions to think about on Tuesday, Feb. 7th, and the discussion will start on Wednesday, Feb. 15th. Weâ€*ll wrap up by the following Wednesday. (I know that a Wed. to Wed. time frame is a little odd, but we are trying it out to accommodate scheduling issues!)

I encourage you to re-read the article and start thinking about your experiences with learners who have been "stuck", and the intake or interviewing procedures that you use.

Robin Schwarz is an ESOL tutor, LD specialist and consultant in ESOL/LD issues, and is a partner in the TLP Group in Columbus, Ohio. We are so pleased to have her as guest speaker!

All the best,

Julie
