TESOL 2008: CETC Events and Member Presentations
Meredith Bricker, meredith.bricker@gmail.com
At the end of 2007, I asked CETC members, through the CETC e-list, to send me information about the presentations that they will offer at the 2008 TESOL Convention to be held April 2-5 in New York City. I hope that the list of presentations below may spark your interest and foster discussion among fellow CETC members who share similar research and pedagogical interests. The list is organized by date and time, and I have also included important caucus events and activities that I hope will encourage further collaboration among caucus members.
