participation in CATESOL activities
while M.A. and Ph.D. graduate
students in the UC Davis Linguistics

degree. The Foundation expects this
project to serve as a model for
other institutions interested in
promoting professional development
for teachers of English to speakers
of other languages. The application
process will soon be on the CATESOL
