2008 CUE Scholar
In order from left to right: Terry Fellner, Treasurer; Thomas Amundrud, 2008 CUE Scholar; Matt Apple, SIG Coordinator
Thomas Amundrud (Ritsumei University) was selected as the 2008 CUE Scholar. His conference review of JALT 2008 will appear in the OnCUE Journal, 3(2) Special Conference Issue, coming out at the end of summer 2009. Many CUE members on the CUE SIG Members Yahoo group may have read Thomas's call for participants in his studies concerning teaching students with mental health. He is also interested in researching ways of helping Japanese science students develop rhetorical skills for presentation. Thomas is a member of the CUE 2009 Conference Committee.
Each fall, CUE SIG sponsors one CUE member to attend the annual JALT conference. CUE Scholars receive 25,000 yen in return for help at the CUE desk and a conference review.
Look for details of next year's CUE Scholar award in the upcoming Summer 2008 issue of OnCUE Journal, or CUE's e-newsletter, YouCUE, which is sent via Yahoo group. Both publications are free for CUE SIG members.
