Post-Secondary Interest Section |
AI in the ESL Classroom Join us for the annual open meeting of Post-Secondary colleagues from throughout the state. In this meeting, we will talk about publishing in the MITESOL Journal, and we will review issues which have emerged in the current literature in this past year, and particularly the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the ESL classroom. We will discuss ethical issues related to AI, policies you might want to consider writing about the use of AI by students, and ideas to use AI as your ally (and not your enemy). led by Post-Secondary Interest Section Leader, Virginia David, Western Michigan University |
Mason Hall, Room 1401 |
| Adult Education Interest Section |
Adult Ed Group Update Welcome to this session as we discuss the year in adult education and the effect we have made with the state and our participants! We will review state data and reflect on issues that impact our programming. Our session will hit on topics: Barriers, performance, AI, IELCE, IET and transitions. We will have open discussions and questions to help you as you begin your year! led by the Adult Education Interest Section Leader Karyn Goven, MiSide |
Mason Hall, Room 1427 |
| K-12 Interest Section |
K-12 Group Update We are so excited to gather together and discuss current issues in K12 programming for multilingual learners. During this session, we will review the cornerstones of K12 ML programs and how to expand and improve servies. Focal points include MDE's new Home Language Survey questions, guidance regarding service time per student (relative to their WIDA scores), and their potential effect on ML programming in the K12 setting. We will discuss tips to help build relationships with students, families, teachers, and administrators. Additionally, we will collect information about you, your particular K12 context and role, your opinions about IS group activities, what tools you need to improve your practice, and what MITESOL can do for you! led by Frances LaMielle, DeWitt Public Schools |
