Dear Friends,
As Mayor of Orange County, I offer my warm welcome to the
Sunshine State Teachers ofEnglish to Speakers of Other Languages
(SSTESOL) for their 2013 conference! We are honored that you
chose to host your event at the Double Tree Universal Studios in
Orlando.
Moreover, I would like to commend SSTESOL on striving to
give educators access to professional development, resources,
and interaction, as well as provide leadership and advocacy in
language policy issues. I am continuously amazed by the youth of
today and believe that they are the leaders of our future. However,
it is because of our educators that young people not only strive to succeed, but also set out to
accomplish goals that will better themselves and their community. Thank you for your continued
dedication and commitment to teachers and students in the state of Florida.
Additionally, Orange County has much to offer to help make your event memorable. Most

May 16, 2013
As Superintendent of the Osceola School District, I am extremely proud to
welcome you to the heart of Central Florida for the 2013 Sunshine State Teachers
of English to Speakers of Other Languages conference. No matter where you’ve
traveled from in our great state to be with us throughout the conference, be assured
that we are all here for the same reason: to create English language learners who
are prepared for success in the 21st Century.
Your conference theme, “Expanding Traditions: Merging Methodology and

learners bring to the classroom, and work hard to ensure that they demonstrate the highest academic achievement
possible.

GREETINGS FROM THE SSTESOL PRESIDENT
As Superintendent of Seminole County Public Schools,
I welcome you to the annual Sunshine State Teachers of
English to Speakers of Other Languages Conference. The
Sunshine State TESOL conference is an opportunity for you
to learn from experts, network with practitioners and enjoy the
company of other hard working educators.
May 16, 2013
Welcome to Orange County!
It is an honor for Central Florida to be the site selected for the 2013 Conference
for Sunshine State Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages.
Your conference’s theme, “Expanding Traditions: Merging Methodology and
Technology” is very timely and noteworthy. The conference’s many expert
speakers will provide valuable professional development for our state’s TESOL
professionals.
For those of you that are visitors to our area, I hope you get to experience the
real Central Florida. We are proud of our increasingly diverse community.
Our students now represent 212 different countries and speak more than 160
different languages and dialects.
I know this conference is an important opportunity to highlight our public elementary and secondary school, as
well as our higher education partners - Valencia College and the University of Central Florida.
I wish you a successful and productive 2013 SSTESOL Conference.
Sincerely,
Barbara M. Jenkins, Ed.D.
Superintendent
It is very important that as a state and as a nation, we

second language and embrace our English Language Learners
as key contributors to the learning experiences of all of our
students. As we prepare our students for a global economy, it
is necessary to support how our ELL students are assimilated
into our schools and communities. As we all know, the
strength of our country comes from embracing our diversity and collectively working together
for our future.
Seminole County Public Schools is a diverse, multi-national district. Our students represent
139 different countries and 109 different languages. Other than English, the top ten languages
spoken by our students are Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Ukrainian, Tamil
(language spoken in South India & East Sri Lanka), Russian, Gujarati (west coast of India) and
French. During the last ten years, Seminole County Public Schools’ Hispanic population has
increased to 22 % of the student population and currently we have approximately 2,450 English
Language Learners.
Seminole County Public Schools’ English Language Learners are on a path of continuous

and trained our ESOL teachers to work to ensure every student has an opportunity for academic
success. In addition, starting in 2013-14, SCPS will offer a Dual Language program at three
elementary schools. All of these efforts are supported by a committed School Board, and a
strong parent and community network dedicated to our students. Seminole County Public
Schools takes pride in the academic and social success of our English Language Learners,
is committed to on-going training and support for our ESOL teachers, and embraces the
innovation and diversity that our English Language Learners bring to the school district.

your feedback. The conference team strives to make this event exceed your expectations every year.

SSTESOL President
When organized in 1975 the genesis of SSTESOL originally was
a four state group: Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida
TESOL. In 1980, this group adopted the name Gulf TESOL and
had about 300 members. At the same time another group with
membership focused in Southeast Florida retained the name Florida
TESOL and hosted the 1987 TESOL International Convention in
Miami Beach.
In 1990, Broward separated from Florida TESOL in the southeast,
formed the Broward TESOL Council, and joined Gulf TESOL as its
ÀUVWFKDSWHU7KHQH[WWZRFKDSWHUVWRMRLQZHUH1RUWKHDVW)ORULGD
TESOL and Treasure Coast TESOL. By 1995, there were about 450
members in Gulf TESOL. A controversial and unifying issue for
TESOL folks in the state in the 1990’s was the implementation of
the Florida Consent Decree.
In 1995, the membership voted to become Sunshine State TESOL,
a Florida organization. In 1997, SSTESOL hosted the TESOL
International Convention in Orlando, giving the organization pubOLFLW\DQGDÀQDQFLDOERRVW7KDW\HDU667(62/RIÀFLDOO\GHÀQHG
board member roles and responsibilities. At the same time, the once
separate Florida TESOL organization moved to dissolution and
0LDPL'DGH7(62/ZDVHVWDEOLVKHGDVDFKDSWHUDIÀOLDWHWKXV
SSTESOL came to represent the entire state of Florida. In October
2000, SSTESOL hosted the Southeast Regional TESOL Conference
in Miami.

Assessing speaking in an ESL classroom has always been challenging
due to the subjectivity of assessing productive skills, the time constraints that may accompany assessing a large classroom, and student
fears of speaking in front of others. Learn ways to do this effectively
with and without the use of technology.
In this session, the presenters discuss confusing participial -ing and
–ed adjectives (I am boring/bored). Grammar textbooks explain
this issue in a very general way, but we will hear the results of a
corpus-based study of these confusing adjective pairs and consider
implications for ESL teachers.

Dr. Thomas Cobb
“10 Uses Of A Million Word Corpus In ESL”
Orange Ballroom
A `language corpus` is a sampled collection of written or spoken texts
large enough to represent part of a language (medical, economic) or
even a language as a whole. The applied linguistics literature is full
of references to research involving corpora, and ESL teacher-training
courses exhort new teachers to get familiar with corpora and use them
for various purposes in their teaching. But - when teachers get into the
classroom, do they follow this advice? And if so what do they use a
corpus for? The Lextutor website (wwww.lextutor.ca) offers teachers
access to several smallish corpora and checks whether and how they
use them. User data shows that more than 1,000 (mainly teachers) per
day consult a corpus via Lextutor’s concordance corpus-search tools.
This data along with email queries and conference presentation makes
it clear what teachers are using corpora for, and has made it possible
to evolve the tools in line with teachers’ needs and goals.
