Patricia Szasz, Director of the Institute’s Intensive English Programs, was selected as one of five bloggers for the TESOL Annual Convention in New Orleans, which runs from March 17 – 19, 2011. Patricia, along with colleagues in various teaching settings in the US and abroad, will be blogging about her experiences before, during and after the conference. This is Patricia’s first experience delving into the blogosphere, and she’s learning a lot about the power of this type of social media.
