The 2011 LA Regional CATESOL Conference, “Bridges to Success:
Pathways and Transitions” will be hosted by the NOCCCD School of
Continuing Education English-as-a-Second Language Program on
Saturday, October 22, 2011. This one-day conference will be held
from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. at Cypress College.
This exciting event will offer participants the opportunity to learn
about new methods in teaching, advances in instructional technology
and information that is essential for both ongoing professional
development and for preparing our students as they pave the way to
their future.
We are thrilled to announce this year that our Plenary Speaker will
be Sarah Lynn, teacher trainer, a FUTURE Series author, and
co-author of Business Across Cultures. Sarah Lynn has taught ESL and
EFL for over 20 years in the United States and abroad and also
teaches part-time at the Bridge Program at the Center for Workplace
Development at Harvard University. She holds a master’s degree in
TESOL from Teacher’s College at Columbia University. Many thanks to
Pearson Longman who will be sponsoring Sarah!
The conference will also provide the chance for professionals to
present their research and practices on relevant issues in the field
of TESOL. To submit presentation proposals addressing the conference
