On behalf of the 2015 Annual CATESOL Conference Committee, I would like
to welcome you to the 46th Annual CATESOL Conference in Anaheim, home
of the “Happiest Place on Earth!” The committee has worked diligently all year
to bring you a high quality and exciting event with three plenaries and over 200
presentations including many featured sessions spanning all facets of the theme
“Technology Through the Ages.”
This theme was born out of a reflection of my own teaching career and its
inextricable long-time involvement in CATESOL; it also seems to reflect the
make-up of the current CATESOL membership. Many members have served in
the ESL field for decades and can recall a time when teaching without a computer
and the internet was the norm. Then there are those who cannot fathom teaching
without technology and the latest apps. Like many of my fellow CATESOLers, I
find myself “sandwiched” between the two extremes, especially when the best laid
out plans for the classroom falter because of technical issues. It is my hope that this conference will provide
a forum for dialog on this matter.
All our plenary speakers have been chosen based on their rich experience with technology and language
teaching perspectives. Starting out on Thursday evening with the Opening Plenary, Peter Sokolowski,
Editor at Large at Merriam-Webster, will talk about “The Dictionary as Data: What the Online Dictionary
Tells Us About English” and share with us what is expected of a dictionary in the 21st century. On Friday,
after the President’s luncheon, John Fleischman, Assistant Superintendent of Technology Services at the
Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE), will take a look at “Technology and Language Learning:
Brief History and Bright Future.” Then on Saturday, Joe McVeigh, author, teacher, and administrator will
delight us with “Fifty Years of Technology: Lessons Learned.”
On Friday and Saturday morning, enjoy a complimentary breakfast in the Exhibit Hall before going to your
sessions. When you return and have perused all the exhibitor booths, take a break, get a massage, and do
some holiday shopping in the back of the exhibits hall.
For some fun, join us Thursday night at the Opening Reception or at the Ice Cream Social and Networking
Dinners on Friday! Also, make sure to bring your dancing shoes for our Saturday Night Fever Disco
Extravaganza on the last evening!
This conference would not have been possible without the support of our remarkable conference committee,
the CATESOL Board, all the presenters, volunteers, exhibitors, and conference attendees. Thank you to all
of you who helped make this happen. Please enjoy the conference!

On behalf of the CATESOL Board of Directors I warmly welcome you to the
Annual CATESOL Conference in Anaheim, CA! What a lovely location with the
glitter of Disney just down the street and the sunshine (pending no El Nino rains!)
of Southern California, this year’s conference promises to have all the excitement
of professional development and networking with friends new and old.
As I reflect on this year as CATESOL President, I note how interconnected the
concepts of GIVING, RECEIVING, and GIVING THANKS are. I am compelled
to give thanks for all that I have received from CATESOL this year and every
year of my 10+ years of membership, and yet I have spent a lot of time giving to
the organization too. My giving has been in the form of time, dues, registering for
events, and contributing to the CATESOL Foundation, our tax-deductible sister
organization. Yet, as I reflect on my personal giving to CATESOL, I am instantly
reminded that I am not at all unique in my giving to the organization.
In fact, every CATESOL member gives in one or more ways and every one of us also receives! We give
by paying our annual dues and attending the Annual Conference, regional conferences, and local chapter
events. We receive in the form of lessons for our next class, networking opportunities which can lead us
to a better job or higher pay, and advocacy for us and our ELLs at the (California and Nevada) state level.
We also have greater access to better materials for our students through the publishers, to leaders in our
field through plenary and featured speaker sessions, and to greater community through our events and
publications.
Thus, we have so much to be thankful for as we reflect on CATESOL at this time of year. As we get close
to closing out our year and paying closer attention to giving thanks, consider how CATESOL has impacted
your personal and professional lives and please do a few if not all of the following if you are able:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Renew your membership and encourage your colleagues to renew or join CATESOL as well.
Attend events and encourage others to do the same.
Volunteer to help with an event and/or run for office on the Board of Directors.
Give to the CATESOL Educational Foundation. The Foundation offers a tax-deductible way to
monetarily give thanks for some key benefits CATESOL members receive.
Without membership, attendance at events, volunteers, donations, and sponsorships our organization would
not be as strong as it is today, nor would it have the potential to grow and thrive. In short, this organization
is nothing without those who support and volunteer for this organization in our countless ways. As we
approach the season of giving thanks, I’d like to say THANK YOU to everyone who helps make this
organization great! Your enthusiasm, commitment, and hard work is greatly appreciated!
Have a wonderful conference as you GIVE, RECEIVE, and GIVE THANKS this season!
Yours in CATESOL,
Kimberley Briesch Sumner

The Dictionary as Data:
What the Online Dictionary Tells Us About English
Peter Sokolowski
What makes a person look up a word? When do you use a dictionary? If you assume that most people look
up only words they don’t know, you’re wrong. Looking up a word in the dictionary is an intimate act for
each of us as individuals, but the words looked up by millions of online users together tell us a surprising
story about the English language. Words connect us, words inspire us – but words also can cause confusion,
embarrassment, and frustration. By watching trends of lookups, lexicographers track which entries are
being consulted at any given moment. Some words are perennial sources of curiosity and difficulty, while
others show spikes of interest triggered by news from the worlds of politics, entertainment, and sports. Some
words express the general mood of the culture; others reflect a poignant specificity. At the same time, this
Web traffic tells us about the changing business of dictionaries -- and what is expected of a dictionary in the
21st century.
Peter Sokolowski is Editor at Large at Merriam-Webster. He has written definitions for many of MerriamWebster’s dictionarie and is active as a blogger, podcaster, and speaker on language. Peter joined MerriamWebster in 1994 as the first French-language editor in the company’s history. He has since defined and
edited entries for many of the company’s dictionaries including the Collegiate Dictionary and the Advanced
Learner’s English Dictionary. He blogs at Merriam-Webster’s Unabridged Web site, appears in the Ask
the Editor videos at M-W.com, and was named among TIME’s 140 Best Twitter Feeds of 2013. Active
as a lecturer in the world of ESL and TESOL, Peter has led workshops on American English for the U.S.
State Department worldwide, and serves as pronouncer for spelling bees around the world. He attended the
University of Paris and taught French at the University of Massachusetts while earning his M.A. in French
Literature. He also maintains a busy freelance career as a musician and presents jazz programming for
Western New England’s National Public Radio affiliate.

Engaging Writers and Writing:
Designing EAP Writing Courses
Chris Feak
Those of us who teach academic writing already know that whether we are working
with high school students or graduate students, many of the students enrolled in our
classes say that they do not like to write--in any language. This knowledge that students
are not particularly interested in our courses certainly raises the question of how we can design our courses to
be more engaging. While this question is indeed important, perhaps we should also be asking what it is about
writing and writing courses that generates this dislike. How might this be related to the students’ prior writing
experiences and perceptions of themselves as writers? How does this writing “baggage” that students carry into
our classrooms affect how we teach? Along with these questions, it is also worth considering the knowledge,
assumptions and our own writing “baggage” that contributes to our writing pedagogy. By identifying what
instructors and students alike bring to a writing course, we are more likely to create an environment where
both can succeed. In this workshop we will explore whether and how to tap into students’ prior knowledge and
experiences to inform our writing pedagogy. We will also reflect on how to help students to write better not
for the sake of writing classes, but for the myriad of other purposes for writing. We will also consider how our
assumptions about student writers, our approaches to writing course design and responding to students’ texts
might sometimes be at odds with our knowledge of best practices in teaching writing.
Christine Feak is a faculty member at the English Language Institute, University of Michigan, where she is the
lead lecturer for dissertation writing and writing for publication courses. She is co-author (with John Swales) of
Academic Writing for Graduate Students and the new English in Today’s Research World book series focused
on the writing of research genres and subgenres. In addition to teaching and textbook writing, she also serves as
co-editor of ESP, an international peer-reviewed journal focusing on topics relevant to the teaching and learning

Action Research: Re-Examining ESL Writing
by Looking at Native Speaker Writing
Keith Folse
What makes a composition good or bad? Why do some papers get an A but another gets
a C and still another gets an F? In this workshop, we will talk about some of the existing
research on various factors that contribute to an ESL paper’s score. We will of course look
at some of the most common factors that contribute to a paper’s overall score, including length, vocabulary
variety, grammatical errors, and organization. However, we will also look at aspects of ESL papers that are
missing but present in native writing. Participants will compare and contrast two sets of essays on the same
topic with similar time limits: one set written by advanced ESL students and another set written by native

Tools for Launching an Academic Competency
Aligned Vocabulary Initiative
Kate Kinsella
The 2011 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Vocabulary Report
highlighted the dire need for schools to provide English learners and students from
low-income families with informed, consistent vocabulary instruction aligned with critical
academic competencies such as comparing, making inferences, sequencing, and analyzing causes and effects.
Productive word knowledge, the ability to effectively use a word in speech and writing, is pivotal to academic
and professional workplace interaction, presentation, and text dependent response. Drawing on scholarship
and extensive K-12 and college classroom experience, Dr. Kinsella demonstrates explicit instruction of highutility, competency-aligned word families (e.g., compare, comparison; infer. inference) underscoring competent
academic communication and explains how to design spoken and written classroom application tasks and
formative assessments that deepen productive word knowledge. Participants observe video footage and review
sample lessons, note-taking guide formats, and competency aligned word lists to establish a program-wide
high-utility vocabulary initiative.
Kate Kinsella, Ed.D. is a teacher educator at San Francisco State University and a highly-sought after speaker
and consultant to school districts and state departments throughout the US regarding development of academic
language and literacy across the K-12 subject areas. Her 25-year teaching career focus has been equipping youths
from diverse backgrounds with the communication, reading, and writing skills to be career and college ready. Her
extensive publishing career includes articles, chapters, English learners’ dictionaries, English language development
curriculum, and reading intervention programs. Dr. Kinsella is the author of the Academic Vocabulary Toolkit
(National Geographic Learning), English 3D (Scholastic) and co-author of READ 180 (Scholastic). Dr. Kinsella coauthored Improving Education for English Learners: Research-Based Approaches and a 2012-2015 featured article
series in Language Magazine detailing the language demands posed by Common Core standards and assessments
for US language minority youth. A former Fulbright TESOL lecturer, Dr. Kinsella served as editor of the CATESOL
Journal and chief K-12 editor for the International TESOL Journal.
