Dear COTSEAL members,
We wish you the happiest of holidays! It seems like the year has flown by! We hope it has been a good one for you. As the year of 2020 is approaching, we’d like to thank every member of their continuous support. The success of COTSEAL network and programs is built on our collaborative efforts – so thank you all.
It has been a great year for COTSEAL. We’ve had successful panel at AAS and conference and workshop at the University of Washington with the supports from the Henry Luce foundation, Southeast Asian NRCs across the country, and Southeast Asian Language Council (SEALC).
It is important for our field of Southeast Asian language teaching to grow. Therefore, we will keep our commitment to advance the field by providing opportunities for professional growth of our members. Please take the opportunities and participate in our upcoming events in 2020:
- COTSEAL panel and business meeting at AAS in Boston on March 20-21,
- COTSEAL conference at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, in June,
- SEALC-sponsored workshops (OPG-follow-up Workshop at Ohio University, in September, and Project Based/Heritage Language Teaching Workshop at UCLA in the fall).
We also urge you to participate in the upcoming COTSEAL officer elections in January, 2020.
All the encounters and sharing this past year has brought forth renewed enthusiasm and joy for us.
We look forward to continue working with you in the coming year.
Best wishes for the New Year!
Juliana, Pittaya (Fon), Agustini
