TESOL time X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII X-Mailer: Novell GroupWise Internet Agent 6.0.3 Status: O Content-Length: 2094 Lines: 50 TESOL seems to like cutesy titles for their presentations. Things like: The beatles, "Let it be" and verb conjugation Loonie toons and other cartoons to teach adjectives Rock and roll and modal auxiliaries. The are not too interested in ideologcal stuff such as poverty, access, gender issues, etc. A few years ago I was thinking of submitting several proposals with cute titles and bogus content to see if they got accepted. I am kind of lazy though. Andres >>> fkeenan@pbs.org 04/29/04 02:07PM >>> Only 4 days til TESOL 2005's proposal deadline!
