蘑菇视频 Professor Co-Authors Paper on Teaching English as a Second Language (4/6/2017)
GREENSBORO, N.C. 鈥� Michelle Plaisance, assistant professor of English and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages 聽and director of 蘑菇视频鈥檚 M.A. program in TESOL, has published a paper on that subject.
聽 was co-written with Spencer Salas and Mark D鈥橝mico and published recently by the TESOL Journal.
It examines the case of one first-grade English as a Second Language teacher and the conflict between how she is expected to teach and how she has been trained to teach or even how she wants to teach.
The study has implications for 鈥渋nstructional contexts where literacy and literacy test scores have emerged as the gold standard of adequate yearly progress.鈥�
Plaisance holds a B.A. from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and an M.A.T. and Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. She joined the 蘑菇视频 faculty in 2014.
