Bilingual-Bicultural conference
For Dr. Rivera extra credit work, my fellow students and I assisted in event set-up and introduction for speakers on different presentation. The event is the 28th Annual Pacific Islands Bilingual Bicultural Association (PIBBA) Conference and is spread out over four days. We participated on two days at UOG. It was very fun and we got a chance to sit in on some of the presentations, which the main idea was to promote cultural and language activities by disseminating information, involving Pacific Islanders, and encouraging quality education programs throughout the Pacific. The other event site is at Merizo park, so you still have a chance to participant and earn extra credit but at your own expense and risk.

Kyle,
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the assistance that you and some of your classmates have provided to the Pacific Islands Bilingual Bicultural Association (PIBBA) Conference. Indeed, it is our mission to promote bilingualism and biculturalism in our Pacific region. Kudos to all of you!
Best regards,
Dr. Rivera
Hi kyle, Thanks for doing the introduction that we all felt nerves about. You were great with your tone of voice, managing your expression, and most of all-- a great speech. But...I beat you with selling T-shirts!! haha :)
