TEFL Poster Session Spring 2012

Each of you are required to create a 'graphical representation of something you have learned' in any of your TEFL courses. After creating your poster, you will need to participate in our public TEFL Poster Session on June 14th from 2pm to 4pm in room UXB 107. Participation means that you will need to stand by your poster and be ready to give short 3-5 minute explanations of what your poster topic is and why it was compelling for you. Your audience will be: TEFL teachers, ESL teachers, UC Irvine administrative staff, ESL students, professional program students and UC Irvine students. Please pick up a blank poster board at Roger's office from this week on. Should you need some help determining what you want to focus on then please make an appointment with Roger. Roger also has samples of posters already completed by TEFL students from previous programs. You may also want to view the 'Poster Session Design' powerpoint presentation online.
