Hi Ira,
 
It was good to meet with you last week, and begin the conversation about how the Spanish American Institute and LACNYC might work together in 2014-2015 by way of Saturday workshops for approximately 40 teaching and administrative staff. There's 3 Saturday workshops each year, and they are from 10am-1pm at our school in Times Square. Our first workshop would be on Saturday, April 26.
 
We would like to provide teachers and administrative staff with interactive workshops, delivered roughly in this order,  that would offer  a foundation for ESOL theory including practical suggestions that could be transferred to classroom teaching:
 

• introduction to linguistics
• second language acquisition
• the structure of English (syntax, phonology, morphology, discourse)
• intercultural communication
• sociolinguistics
• language teaching methodology (i.e., geared towards technology such as using cell phones in the classroom)

 
A certificate of participation from LACNYC would be a bonus to our staff.
 
I hope that we will have a chance to work together, and if so, what would the cost be for each Saturday workshop?
