Blended Learning: A Recipe for the Future
By Toby Brody, Director of ESL
North Carolina State University
Educators spend seemingly endless amounts of time engaged in discussions about “learning” and
how to deliver strategies that lead to student success. A cursory examination of ESL conference programs confirms that ESL teachers are absorbed with seeking fresh and innovative approaches that provide current best practices as the field continues to evolve. We have become adept at practicing the
more conventional approaches that dominated the field at the time of training, those that expanded our
knowledge base and yielded promising results. Our already overflowing bag of tricks will need to make
room for one of the hottest strategies to appear in recent times, reflective of the revolutionary advances
in technology and the acceptance of cyberspace as a bona fide instructional venue. The recent approach
making an appearance in education circles across the country is termed “blended” or hybrid learning.”
This mode of learning is an outgrowth of distance learning, and combines virtual (either synchronic or
asynchronic) learning and reduced classroom time, and allows for students to work independently or
collaboratively.
Blended or hybrid learning redesigns the traditional lecture style of instruction. Transforming
conventional classroom delivery to blended or hybrid learning takes planning time, as well as technological expertise, and students should be able to function in a self-paced, ambiguous, unstructured format. Students are involved in making decisions affecting their
learning to a far greater degree than seen in most classrooms. Educators are predicting that most future classrooms will have blended
or hybrid approaches driving the delivery of content. Will you be
ready for the transition?

Conference
Keynote Speaker: Dr.
Donna Christian
Donna Christian is president of the Center for Applied Linguistics in Washington, DC. She has degrees in
sociolinguistics (Ph.D., Georgetown University), applied linguistics (M.S., Georgetown University), and
mathematics (B.S., St. Lawrence University). Dr. Christian has worked at CAL since 1974, focusing on the
role of language in education, with a special interest in issues of second language learning and dialect diversity.
The Center for Applied Linguistics (CAL) is a private, nonprofit organization that works to promote and improve the teaching and learning of languages, serve as a resource on issues related to language and culture,
and conduct research on critical topics in those areas.
Bilingualism for All Students through Two-Way Immersion
Saturday, February 10, 2007, Bate 1031 (Time TBA on the conference site)
This presentation provides an overview of two-way immersion, synthesized from research conducted by the
Center for Applied Linguistics (CAL), including extensive information collected from programs around the
country. Two-way immersion education is a challenging model to implement well because it involves providing instruction in two languages to integrated groups of students. Among the issues to be examined
are: goals of two-way immersion, key components of effective programs, and issues in design and implementation. Findings from a national research project will be presented, along with information about resources that are currently available.
Pre-conference talk sponsored by
The Department of Foreign Languages & Literatures
Charting a Path to Bilingualism for Our Students
Friday, February 9, 2007 3-4:30 pm, Bate 1026
In the United States, two language-related issues receive substantial popular attention. On the one hand, the
U.S. lacks the language resources (in languages other than English) to meet its diplomatic, economic,
security, and social goals. On the other, students in U.S. schools are increasingly diverse, and their home
languages are not usually viewed as resources to be developed. A unified response to their issues can be
found in creating pathways for individual students to follow through the educational system that lead them
to bilingualism. In this presentation, the characteristics of such paths are discussed, along with policies and
practices that support their creation.

PERSPECTIVES ON FIRST MEMORIES
Memories of My First ELL
Teachers, like their students, have memories of many firsts. In our Fall 2006 class
Teaching Reading and Writing to K-12 Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), the first activity was
to consider a series of questions regarding the first, or an early ELL teaching experience. Recalling
those memories, reflections were written and posted in this online class. The guiding questions
were:
1. I had my first English language learner...
2. One thing I remember about him or her is...
3. Something I did that probably helped is...
4. One thing I wish I’d done is...
5. Over time I’ve probably taught ______ ELLs.
6. If I had a magic wand, I’d...
The reflections posted demand (in my ear anyhow) wider sharing. I asked for and received
permission to select excerpts and publish them for that wider sharing. The authors are your professional colleagues in our Carolina TESOL network. Here are but a few of the memories collected.
More may appear in the next issue, a continued column so to speak. May reading of the following
evoke wonderful memories across the Carolinas:
• How I began teaching ESOL? It was definitely through the back door but the best back
door I've ever walked through.
(continued page 8)

(continued from page 7)
• She knew that I expected her to work and to learn something every day. I talked with her as
if she understood every word I spoke. I looked her straight in the eyes and tried my best to let
her know that I was there to help and encourage as she began to live in a different world that
she did not understand.
• One thing I wish I could have done is left my door open to write letters of recommendation
for him in the future..... He was so bright and I hope he is doing well wherever he is.
• I had to learn to present work in a way that he could understand...from gestures to handson…. I used the strategies from my early teaching experiences to communicate with him. I
asked my colleagues for assistant and I researched online.
• My first ESOL learners were a mix of 3rd to 5th graders during a summer school session in
2001. More than half were from South America and the rest from Mexico. They were so
glad to have a bilingual teacher and they were eager learn. We quickly learned about each
other through sharing our experiences in this country. From there we started learning English; anxiety was low and expectations were high. We had fun that summer and many did
not want the session to end. We built a community of learners, with unique talents, and a
common purpose.
• If I had a magic wand, I would give ELLs bookstore gift certificates so they can keep their
own books and not have to return a book, like at the library.
Do you hear yourself in any or all of the above? May our magic wands do good work this year.

PERSPECTIVES ON SE TESOL CONFERENCE
SE TESOL 2006
The 21st annual Southeast Regional TESOL Conference took place on November 29-December 2, 2006, at the Peabody Hotel next to the convention center in downtown Little Rock, Arkansas.
The Peabody, like its relative in Memphis (remember the SE Regional in 1995?) is graced with a confusion of ducks
that live atop one part of the hotel but parade downstairs daily to the fountain in the hotel lobby. The splendor of the surroundings could hardly be matched.
The caliber of the presentations would also have few rivals. A pre-conference workshop on Differentiated Instruction was led by Lynda Franco, the President of Olé Education. David and Yvonne Freeman (University of Texas at
Brownsville) discussed “Closing the Achievement Gap for English Language Learners;” Deputy Secretary of Education
Raymond Simon talked about connectedness, including a relatively recent decision by the government that LEP students
had to be included in the educational process; Dr. Keith Folse of the University of Central Florida spoke about “Ten
Things that I Wish I Had Known Before I Took Up TESOL;” and the final plenary speaker, Dr. MaryEllen Vogt of California State University, Long Beach, light-heartedly listed “Vogt’s Top Ten; or What I’ve Learned About Teaching Reading.” About 525 people attended 70 concurrent sessions, something for everyone, and one presenter came all the way
from Cyprus.
People at the conference had the opportunity to tour the Clinton Presidential Library, and a letter from President
Clinton was read that welcomed us and noted how important ESL education is.
Amidst this the Regional Council put a final form to the proposed Constitution and Bylaws for SE TESOL. These
would create an additional affiliate of TESOL, something needed largely for legal reasons. Although an individual affiliate can obtain insurance to protect conference organizers against natural and other disasters, this is in some places possible only if the conference carries the affiliate’s name; individual members of the TNT Executive Board had to accept personal liability in order to arrange the 2004 SE Regional. There have, in the 21 years of existence of the SE TESOL, never
been any legal problems; but what if New Orleans (which hosted in 2003) had been the scheduled host in the Year of
Katrina? The new SE TESOL affiliate will eliminate the legal side of this problem.
This was ArkTESOL’s first ever SE Regional, and the relatively new TESOL affiliate did a terrific job, with a personal touch; ArkTESOL President Judy Hobson introduced plenary speakers not as pillars of wisdom with long resumés
but rather as friends—which is how everyone behaved.
Little Rock is a long way away, but the weather was bracing, the ideas and expertise fast and furious, the trolleys
festooned with wreaths and tiny white lights, and the ducks not molting. Next year’s SE Regional will be hosted by Kentucky TESOL on similar dates, November 29-December 1, 2007, at the Louisville Downtown Marriot Conference Center.
Meanwhile, the Carolina TESOL web site already lists four ESL conferences coming up in the Carolinas before the
end of June. Don’t miss out.

Larry has discussed with CPA our tax exempt status. It seems we will be able to back file our taxes. Once we follow proper procedures we should receive proper status. This is all in the works. Hopefully this will be taken care
of by January 1, 2007.
Membership/New Business:
What is CTESOL? What are benefits of being a member? Recertification credit for attending conferences, newletter, Professional Organization. Regional Rep could present staff development for schools of new members.
Roberto discussed beginning a marketing campaign. Focus on areas of high population of ESOL students. Campaign will focus on inviting mainstream teachers to TESOL Conferences. Breakout sessions must include information for these teachers. Karen asked Roberto to recap this with afternoon group.
Breakout Groups:
Membership Fee: Larry discussed why we have a membership fee when no one ever pays for it outside of the Conference fee. He suggested dropping the membership fee. This will be a way to increase membership in CTESOL.
This would increase our database as an organization. It was suggested that members must attend a conference
within two years or membership would be dropped. Discussion was made as to how the attendance or lack of
would be monitored. Suggested a letter or email be sent out when two years are up. This would affect the membership director. Bill suggested we allow the membership director, Ian Brailsford, to make some of the decisions.
Cindy proposed we table this discussion for membership until membership can be polled at February Conference.
Seconded by Bill Isler.
At the February Conference we will hear more about membership.
Bill Isler made a proposal Regional Reps be contacted to package a presentation for Staff Development or other
ideas for mainstream teachers. Also proposed ESOL Teachers presenting at other conferences. CTESOL possibly
providing teachers with a scholarship for doing so.
(continued page 11)

(continued from page 10)
Andrea Belletti proposed going through Regional Reps to advertise TESOL Conferences. Bill Isler seconded.
Provide a flyer from Regional to Metro to ESOL teachers to advertise TESOL Conferences.
LISTSERV Dilemma:
Amy Hurka-Webslave. Set up the newslist. Started an Executive Board List. Karen Brown and Gail Rogers are
moderators. Question: Who on the board should be on the list? How big do we want the list? Karen suggested
executive board members as well as appointed and honorary members.
Amy discussed a separate site set up for Metro and Regional Reps. Bonnie asked if Migrant Education persons
will be added to the Executive Board. Bonnie suggested considering placing these people on the separate board.
Pat suggested they be added to the Metro Groups.
Webpage update:
Executive Board Member: Yahoo has a group list. One is already set up for Board Members. When we need to
talk to board members we can email each member directly. This allows us to archive discussions and have a file
depository. Membership database, forms, etc. Very easy to use through Yahoo.
