Hello friends,
Is anyone giving a presentation on a topic related to ESL-bilingual education at Pittsburgh? In the past the ESL Assembly has sent out a short newsletter with a list of relevant presentations. I thought that this year we could post our own announcements with the program information: brief abstract, title, time/date, and location. Thanks! I'll start with my presentation. I look forward to hearing about yours and meeting you in Pittsburgh!

If anyone has a better picture to share for the front page of this group, that would be great. The system wouldn't let me create a group without a picture.
