On 11 April I attended a seminar in ETRC, presented by Cynthia McPhail, full professor and the chair of the Department of Language, Literacy and Technology in the School of Education at Nazareth College in Rochester, NY:
The topic was: "Use of English to study other subject areas".
The higher the grade of the student is, the more academic approach is needed to improve his/her language skills.
Students have to analise what they do and why. - These are the 2 conclusions I have come to.
I liked the friendly atmosphere of the presentation. And it was fun to have a photo taken to remember the meeting.
