Aloha HITESOLers,

Thank you to everyone who participated in our language experience event this year! It was a fantastic success. I believe that we all benefitted from sitting in the students’ chairs and participating in a language lesson as a student. The discussion we had after the language lesson was very productive and insightful. I hope everyone will give a conscious effort to making changes in our teaching practices as a result of the experience.

Many thanks to Frank and Mohammad! They provided an excellent class for us. Many thanks to everyone who helped organize the event. And we also need to thank everyone in Hilo who came to participate. Your responses to the presentation and the humor you added to the event were very enjoyable.

Pictures of the event are on this website. Check them out!

Whether you attended the language experience or not, we look forward to our next opportunity to get together at the opening social in September. The dates for the opening social and other events next year will be announced shortly.

Mark Wolfersberger HITESOL President
