ANNOUNCEMENTS:  *Hello everyone, I'm writing my responses to your final course papers on your Wiki pages. I'm communicating your final grade by sending you a Wiki message: if you have trouble receiving it, email me at tconrad@weber.edu (Tim Conrad, July 22) PLEASE READ OVER THE FOLLOWING, INCLUDING THE UTAH COMPACT, THE NCLB ARTICLE & THE NEW PAGE ABOUT FEDERAL LAW AFFECTING ELLS: The Utah Compact on immigration: http://www.theutahcompact.com/ Defining Success in Education and Life: Teacher Bios: http://sfsumatesol2011.wordpress.com/  Teaching in Korea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Do9DYs6SF7c   Dave's ESL Cafe: http://www.eslcafe.com/   NCLB ARTICLE: ATTENTION EVERYONE (JUNE 26, TUESDAY): I'VE BEGUN READING AND RESPONDING TO YOUR POSTS AND TEACHER JOURNAL PAGES. THIS WILL NOT BE THE ONLY WAY TO COMMUNICATE ABOUT COURSE CONTENT AND THE COMMUNITY CLASS, BUT IT'S ONE GOOD WAY TO STAY IN TOUCH ABOUT THINGS. TO GET MY ATTENTION EVEN QUICKER IF SOMETHING "VIP" COMES UP, USE THIS ANNOUNCEMENT PAGE OR SEND ME AN EMAIL (TCONRAD@WEBER.EDU) OR CALL MY CELL (801-564-5944)...TIM CONRAD When posting, make sure it goes in discussion and not the chapter heading itself. Sunday, June 24 (Tim Conrad): Hello everybody, I pushed my earlier announcement further down the page, just to keep the historical trail of prior announcements. I just completed reading and responding to the "Chapter 1" posts and want to thank Brandy for setting up the posting by chapter "pages" because I like the fact that I can click on the Chapter 1 Page and quickly read over the posts just for that chapter. But please feel free to give suggestions about how we can change any aspect of this Wikispaces site if you find a way to try to make it more user friendly. Remember I think it's an excellent option for posting to do one of your required posts by responding to what any of us as class members have said about any of the chapter ideas/issues.
 * MENG 6410 : TEACHING ENGLISH TO SPEAKERS OF OTHER LANGUAGES, SUMMER 2012 **

==Tuesday, June 19 (Tim Conrad): Hello everybody, I decided to change "Permissions" for this Wikispaces site so that only those of us as class members can view and edit this site. If we think it might be fun or useful for our community class, we can easily start another Wikispaces site just for that class to chat among us all, practice English, make announcements and so on.==
