English Language Institute 75th Anniversary Colloquium
A History of Innovation, in Engagement with the World
The English Language Institute turns 75 this year, and we are celebrating with a daylong colloquium on FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2016 / 9:00 - 5:00 P.M. in the RACKHAM ASSEMBLY HALL
The English Language Institute was founded in 1941 as the very first intensive English program at a U.S. university. Ever since, ELI has played a central role in the development of the fields of ESL, Applied Linguistics, and English for Academic Purposes.
From its early days as a trailblazer in the audio-lingual approach to language learning, to its groundbreaking work in pronunciation teaching, genre analysis, and corpus linguistics, ELI has served as a model for virtually all university-based English language programs that have followed it. Today, ELI continues this tradition of pedagogical innovation with its recent forays in online and community-engaged EAP instruction.
We are thrilled that some of the legendary teachers and scholars associated with the ELI over its long history will be traveling back to Ann Arbor for this event, joined by leading scholars of corpus linguistics, EAP graduate communication, ESL/EFL teacher education, and textbook development.
Event free and open to the public, but space is limited. Light breakfast and lunch provided with RSVP.
