Pedagogical Innovations Reading Group: a forum for language instructors

Wednesday, June 3, 2015
11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Jones 117


The Language Center is pleased to announce the launch of a new summer reading group for language instructors!

So - what is a Pedagogical Innovations Reading Group?

The Reading Group will consist of language instructors who are interested in reading and discussing journal articles once every three weeks. At each meeting the moderator will present a different journal article describing a pedagogical innovation that may spark some ideas for your teaching.

The first meeting will be Wednesday, June 3 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in Jones 117.

If you are interested in joining, simply register your interest and some topics that you're interested in exploring related to language learning or teaching through this short form. This will give us a good gauge of what article to discuss for the first meeting. If you have any questions, you can contact Caroline Vang at cevang@umn.edu. Looking forward to an "innovative" summer!!

The Ever Popular TandemPlus Punch Pizza Party

TandemPlus hosted its final event of the semester at the ever popular destination of Punch Pizza in Stadium Village. With the sun shining, the pizza fresh, and the conversation lively, it was a great time for everyone to take a break from the end-of-semester hustle.

The Spring semester is just about wrapped up, with many of Tandem’s participants graduating, but Tandem will commence again in the summer semester! Look forward to registering at tandem.umn.edu sometime in early June.
