In this professional development, we will discuss our course designs for teaching fully online ESL lessons for oral presentations and writing.  JOIN US!]]> 2020-09-30 14:43:36 UTC https://padlet.com/catesol/2020SummerOnlineCourseDesignInstitute/wish/791530827 igreenbe https://padlet.com/catesol/2020SummerOnlineCourseDesignInstitute/wish/791595536 Hello Online Educators,
I am the creator and designer of the inaugural CATESOL Summer Institute: Online Course Design. I created this professional development to help ESL educators convert campus-based courses to fully online.  I used my 10+ years of online education experience and training to lead this training. 
Twenty-five CATESOL members participated in this professional development during summer 2020 to learn online instructional design for multi-week digital ESL lessons. To prepare for #backtoschool, participants joined two training events on July 23 and August 6, created draft online lessons, and revised the lessons with customized feedback. Finally, they implemented their new online lessons. The four of us will present our designs at the CATESOL Summer Institute Showcase at the Annual CATESOL Conference. I will kick-off our presentation on Sunday, October 11, 2020, 9:30-10:45am.

Hello Fellow CATESOLers!

I'm Nairi, an ESL educator and curriculum coordinator. I've been teaching adult learners for the past 11 years, 9 of which have been in college/university settings here in Los Angeles.

The multi-week lesson I designed below is for students who have advanced academic and workplace English needs since I work with international ESL professionals.

In addition to the US, I have taught ESL/EFL and trained teachers in South Korea, Taiwan, Macau, the Philippines, Thailand, and Honduras. I earned my Ph.D. in Composition and Applied Linguistics from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and my Masters in TESOL from Framingham State University. My research interests include the intersection of transnationality and teacher identity, second language writing, and assessment.

My presentation focuses on the use of editing logs in online academic writing courses. The editing log is a part of a multi-week lesson plan, which you can view here:
