Portfolio showcase

As part of TESOL 2007, this post shows some student portfolios that I am proud of.

I have taught our highest-level writing class many times, though not recently. I'll start with portfolios that show well-formatted (in my view) research papers.

unfinished business

This weblog, which was always independent, having its own logon and password, is switching over to being part of the CESL system. That whole situation has become a little complicated, but CESL now has three kinds of weblogs, students, teachers, and old ones. This one is going in with the old ones. Information about how to post will soon go onto the template.

Meanwhile, with TESOL coming up, there are some articles floating out there that did not get included in the TESOL presentation, but are interesting nevertheless. Those articles are referenced here:
