PRO TIP
Accidentally write on your whiteboard with a permanent marker? Did a student get a little too zealous? Our very own HUB Manager Stephanie Burnes made a video with this great PRO TIP on removing permanent marker from a whiteboard.
CLASSROOM SHOWCASE
For the first time in the history of our blog, I have a backlog of pictures to share! If you haven't seen yours yet, there's always next week. Keep these great pictures coming! Please email me: elizabethschade@nypl.org
Manal, along with a student with connections to Simon and Schuster, arranged for an author to do a reading at Aguilar. Manal’s students all received copies of the book in advance and then last Monday the author, Lydia Meredith, came and read from the first chapter. The book tied in with our current curriculum theme of Friends and Family. We combined Manal’s M/D class and Colette’s L class for this special event and it was a fun and inspiring event. Here are some photos

And What About the Research?
Our latest blog post is by Penny Ur, who discusses the need for materials writers to pay attention to research on language learning.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
This week, some opportunities surrounding the Applied Linguistics Winter Conference held in NYC next spring.
Call for Proposals
39th Annual Applied Linguistics Winter Conference (2018 ALWC )
The theme for this year’s conference is Culturally Relevant Pedagogy.
This conference provides our colleagues to show us their student centered approach with a focus on promoting and nurturing the student's’ identity within the institution, the classroom or at home.

We invite proposals for 30-minute presentations (20-minute talk and 10-minute Q&A), and 40-minute workshops on original research or pedagogical practices. We also invite proposals for poster presentations, all of which will be displayed for a one-hour session. Poster presentations are intended to be a format for reports of work in progress. Although preference will be given to proposals related to the conference theme, submissions relevant to applied linguistics are still encouraged.
We invite all teachers, researchers, and students to submit a proposal for the conference consideration.
