Announcing this year’s Geddes Mini-Grant Recipients

Once again this year, there was a broadly based show of interest in our Geddes Mini-Grants program. This year’s grant recipients include: Hongyun Sun (Lecturer in Chinese) – “Incorporating Topic-Oriented Videos into Business Chinese;” María Datel (Senior Lecturer in Spanish) – “The Madrid Summer Program Promotion Integrated to the Contents of LS 211 and LS 212;” Elena Carrión-Guererro (Lecturer in Spanish) – “Interpersonal Communication, Listening and Presentational Speaking Skills: Authentic Conversations at the Intermediate Level Pilot Project;” and Luluah Mustafa (Senior Lecturer in Arabic and Head of Arabic Language Program) – “Computerized Placement Testing in Arabic.” We look forward to working with each of the grantees as they introduce innovations to language learning at BU using technology.
