FEATURED SPEAKER
John Spiridakis, Ph.D. Professor and Coordinator TESOL and Bilingual Education School of Education St. John’s University, USA

He holds a MS, JD and PhD and is responsible for leading the several Graduate Education Programs he initiated, including Distance Learning and Global TESOL courses and field experiences in several countries. He also has directed several national, state and city research and development projects.

Dr. Spiridakis is Past- President of the Greek-American Behavioral Studies Institute and is a member of AERA, International TESOL, ASCD and the National Association for Bilingual Education.
TOPIC STEM Education and Greek Language Immersion in the USA
Greek language education has taken on new life in the long wake of the ravaging effects of assimilation that result in ethnic language rejection and loss for most ethnic and ethno-religious communities in the United States as well as in Europe. Language loss among language minorities is seemingly inevitable and is a well-documented global societal phenomenon. This paper surveys the current condition of Greek language based education in the private and public sectors, including heritage language schools in America. Prior research on the efficacy of Greek bilingual and heritage language education programs indicated a positive correlation between Greek language achievement and achievement in English and mathematics. Such research findings are discussed in light of and along with the promise and performance of Charter School programs focused on Greek. Results, actual and anticipated, of Greek language immersion and heritage language programs are illuminated in terms of design, approaches, and implementation that promise STEM learning, achievement and, for some programs, a richer soul.

FEATURED SPEAKER
Jinyan Huang, Ph.D. Associate Professor and Ph.D. Faculty Member Ph.D. in Leadership and Policy Program Niagara University, USA President and Editor-in-Chief Untested Ideas Research Center, USA
Jinyan Huang (Ph.D.) is an Associate Professor of quantitative research methods and measurement in the Leadership and Policy Ph.D. program at Niagara University. Dr. Huang earned his Ph.D. (2007) in cognitive studies (measurement and quantitative research methods) from Queen's University at Kingston in Canada. As part of his Ph.D. program, he studied at the Centre for Research in Applied Measurement and Evaluation (CRAME) (2004) at the University of Alberta in Canada. Dr. Huang's areas of research center on large- scale assessment, leadership, and policy issues. Specifically, he is interested in the following three issues: a) factors or level of factors that affect students' large-scale standardized test scores; b) assessment issues (reliability, validity, and fairness) in schools and universities; and c) the use of assessment data for supporting leadership and policies. Such a focus enables Dr. Huang to concentrate on the use of his research expertise in multivariate statistical methods, factor analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM), hierarchal linear modeling (HLM), generalizability (G-) theory, and item response theory (IRT).
TOPIC Empirical Quantitative Research in Social Sciences
Quantitative research is the realm of inquiry that relies on numerical data and statistical analysis with the intent of explaining, predicting, or controlling phenomena of interest. It is generally used to measure significant differences (comparing groups) and examine significant relationships between variables. This talk focuses on empirical studies in social sciences that used quantitative methodologies in their designs and analyses. The statistical analyses for measuring significant differences include analysis of variance (ANOVA) procedures, t-tests, or chi-square tests, to name a few procedures. The statistical analyses for examining significant relationships include correlations and regression. Several advanced quantitative procedures such as multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), structural equation modeling (SEM), hierarchal linear modeling (HLM), item response theory (IRT), and generalizability (G-) theory will be included in this talk as well.
