First Friday Forum

The MA/TESL Faculty/Student Forum
(“First Friday Forum”)

The forum is an opportunity for MA/TESL students and faculty to exchange ideas about research and teaching in an informal setting. 

ALL FACULTY AND MATESL STUDENTS ARE WELCOME!

The first hour will be for faculty to introduce research, methods, or materials that they are currently investigating, and the second hour will be for MA/TESL students to introduce their research, practice for their defense or for conferences, to get some different perspectives on their work, and so on.

The forum will be held

on the first Friday of each month, from 12:30 - 2:30, in Schoenberg 201

Light refreshments will be provided. 


The dates for the upcoming sessions are:
