With this post, on the eve of the Second Binational Symposium, we move from promoting the Binational Symposium to reporting on it. Now that we know that it is indeed possible to post to this website from Monterrey, we will try to report on what happened each of the two days of the symposium.

We may also be able to post audio or video clips while we’re here, but if that’s not possible now, look here later for media which we hope to have posted within the days following the symposium.

Unlike many other sections on this website, this section will be completely open for comment. Please continue the conversation started in the symposium by commenting on this post. This is also a good place for posing additional questions.

Este sitio Web es bilingüe en un sentido colectivo de la palabra. Algunos de los asistentes hablan inglés o español, pero juntos somos un grupo bilingüe. Se invita comentarios en español y en inglés aquí.

We are collectively bilingual at this symposium, even though some of us may be monolingual English or Spanish speakers. Comments in both languages are welcome here–both from participants at the symposium and those who are not with us here in Monterrey.

Technology Notes: For the most part, video clips on this website will be mpeg or mp4 format and normally limited to no more than about 10 minutes’ duration; they will open in a separate window. Video files can be quite large and slow to download, so be patient, and you probably should attempt viewing the videos only on a high speed/broadband connection.

Audio files will be mp3 format and will download more quickly. Click on  to play the audio podcast in a plug-in player and to post it in your Del.icio.us network. Click on the Download link to download the audio podcast to your computer or other device.

A third audio podcast listening option that contains a slider bar is also available. Click on the icon to the right to open up the player to show the slider bar and to listen to the recording. This tool may be especially useful to those with a preference for one language or another. The podcasts are bilingual. At times the speakers use English, and at other times they use Spanish. The position of the slider bar in the bilingual podcast will indicate where in the translation to position the slider bar to pick up the translation of that segment. This will reduce the likelihood of having to listen to the entire podcast twice, in order to find the segment that you would like to hear.

It was a long, informative day. For some of us the day seemed longer because the busride to the beautiful campus took a lot longer than expected. The bus driver got lost. At the end of the day, the group has already begun to form connections. There were plenty of opportunities to respond and react to the presentations and discussions during the well-timed coffee breaks and lunch, which was a taquiza that was set up outside.

Rather than attempting to report the details of today’s presentations, we close this summary with a number of ideas that emerged today:

1. En México, los padres quieren, pero no pueden; en Estados Unidos las escuelas pueden, pero no quieren.
2. There are so many asymetries in education and research between Mexico and the U.S. Perhaps it may be necessary to create a new structure that will address the intractable problems that are felt by Mexicans both in Mexico and the U.S. educational systems.
3. There have been isolated efforts to improve educational outcomes for Mexican students in the U.S. and Mexico using binational approaches. More extensive, widespread, and long-term efforts are needed.

At the beginning of the day, Josué González introduced the rationale and anticipated outcomes for the colloquia and symposium. (See video: 215 MB, 10:24 min.) At the end of the day, he asked us to think long-term: what would we envision for a Mexico and U.S. a hundred years from now? What is that desired future state for Mexican children and families in both countries?  

What do you think?  Knowing what we have found out over the years, how can we begin to work together to build the legacy that will lead to that desired future state?

Podcast: Colloquium 4 Participant Q&A 

March 2, 2007

Today’s sessions were preceded by special presentations by a number of state and federal education officials in Mexico. Their remarks focused on new resources available through the Secretaría de Educación Pública and other government agencies.

After lunch participants circulated among a number of poster sessions by for doctoral students in U.S. universities. Also present was a Mexican representative who demonstrated a new multimedia English language learning tool, Enciclomedia. (See video. 205 MB, 09:12 min.) We returned to the auditorium to consider Terrence Wiley’s conference, entitled: Embracing English: Panaea or Trojan Horse? What We Can Learn from the Experiences of Other Nations | Adoptando el Inglés: ¿Panacea o el Caballo de Troya? Lo que Podemos Aprender de las Experiencias de Otras Naciones. Professor Wiley prompted the participants to consider the question, Who owns English? and shared research on English in Asia and Scandinavia. (See video, 220 MB, 10:52 min.).

The colloquium leaders convened one last time to give their reflections on the events of the two days. They offered practical recommendations as well as cautions to consider. Chris Faltis summarized their remarks, making connections among the reflections. The day ended with an impatient Josué González urging the participants to recommend clear, concise, concrete action plans for the future. (See video: 190 MB, 08:32 min.) Among the receommendations were implementation of a number of information and communication technologies so that participants can share information and other resources and work to continuing relationships established at the symposium.

1. Synchronizing national concepts of teaching and learning; and
2. Taking affirmative steps to forge working partnerships that involve personnel from both countries, instead of confining the work of educators to one or another side of the border.

In March of 2003, and with the cooperation of several Mexican and U.S. institutions as well as a private operating foundation and a State Secretary of Education and Culture in Mexico, we organized the first Mexico-U.S. symposium on bi-national education. Researchers from both countries discussed themes related to the rezago educativo in Mexico and the problem of the drop out in U.S. schools.

Following the successful model created for the first bi-national education symposium in 2004, we now propose to hold a second symposium, in Mexico, on a different but equally timely topic: the place of the English and Spanish languages in Mexican and U.S. education. Hosting the event will be the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, Campus Monterrey. En 2003 el Colegio de Educación de la Universidad Estatal de Arizona tomó la iniciativa de trabajar con Instituciones Mexicanas de Educación Superior. El objetivo fue establecer las bases para una agenda de investigación y desarrollo, que se denominó pedagogía binacional, la cual implica:  
       

1. La sincronización de los conceptos nacionales de enseñanza y aprendizaje. 
2. La toma de decisiones que establezcan trabajos de colaboración que involucren personal académico de ambos países, en vez de limitar el trabajo a educadores de uno u otro lado de la frontera.

En marzo de 2003, y con la cooperación de varias instituciones mexicanas y estadounidenses, así como una fundación privada y la Secretaria de Educación Pública y Cultura en México, organizamos el primer Simposio México-Estados Unidos de Educación Binacional. Investigadores de ambos países discutieron temas relacionados con el rezago educativo en México y la deserción escolar en los Estados Unidos.

Teniendo como modelo el primer Simposio Binacional de Educación en 2003, ahora nos hemos propuesto llevar a cabo un segundo simposio sobre un asunto distinto pero igualmente importante: El inglés en México y el español en los Estados Unidos. La institución sede del evento será el Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, Campus Monterrey. ]]> http://simposio.asu.edu/blog/?feed=rss2&p=33
