Upcoming Events
Buffalo Region ESL Book Club
Buffalo Region ESL and bilingual teachers enjoy their monthly book club meetings.
The purpose of this book club is not only to enjoy great international literature but also to get better acquainted with our colleagues. We concentrate on one of the world cultures for one or several book club meetings. We read books for adults and children, so we can look at a specific culture from different angles.
If you are interested in joining, please contact Elena Dokshansky-Zelfond, Buffalo Regional Chair, at buffalo@nystesol.org. It would be great if you could suggest a favorite genre, author or title, which will be included onto the book list.
