The Spring 2015 LEARN Meeting will be at Skokie Public Library on Tuesday, April 7, from 2-4 p.m. Below is the agenda. Our two main topics of discussion are ESL Conversation Groups and ESL Labs.

During the recommended resources portion of the meeting, instead of opening it up to any type of recommendation, we were hoping to focus on ESL readers (books for ESL learners to read). So, please share your thoughts on any ESL readers in your collection that you would like to recommend.

We have added a brief 15-minute intermission into the meeting for refreshments and networking.

2:00 Introductions
2:15 ESL Conversation Groups: What Works and What Doesn’t: Carol Garcia (Literacy DuPage)
2:45 Update on National Literacy Directory
2:55 Refreshment Break & Networking
3:10 Presentation on Literacy/ESL Labs: Pat Barch (Schaumburg Library) and Katalin Zsupan (Arlington Heights Library)
3:40 Recommended Resources: Spotlight on ESL Readers

Thank you.
