The Kendall English Language Institute (ELI) is about to launch it's third iteration in the spring. Come join me to discover why we have launched this initiative, who it serves, what it is doing for us, and how you may participate. Some sample ESL strategies will be presented to inspire you to incorporate them in your teaching and other interactions with students whose home language is something other than English.

Asking the right questions is the key to understanding the world around you. The same goes for education. Does our new program work? What do students like about us? Are certain students more successful? Although these may seem like good questions, there is too much left for interpretation. This session sheds light on systematic ways to ask questions you have about the education world so that you may find your way to answers.
