WORKSHOP FOR PhDs WHO ARE PREPARING FOR THE ACADEMIC JOB MARKET:

Are you going on the academic job market? Get some tips and practice 
answering some typical interview questions...

PREPARING FOR ACADEMIC INTERVIEWS
DATE: Wed., Dec. 7
TIME: 11:30 am - 1 pm
PRE-REGISTRATION required. Go to 
http://web.mit.edu/career/www/events/workshops.html to sign up.

Jump start your preparation for academic interview by practicing some 
typical interview questions. Learn about some additional resources to 
help you prepare for the interview process. This workshop will 
address the kinds of interview questions which may be asked in the 
smaller sessions, following your job talk, and NOT on the job talk 
itself.  An alumnus (now a junior faculty member) will offer some 
brief advice on the academic interview process.

The Center for Work, Family & Personal Life is pleased to announce 
our upcoming seminar entitled Raising Bilingual Children, led by 
Suzanne Flynn, Ph.D., Professor of Linguistics and Second Language 
Acquisition, Department of Linguistics and Philosophy, MIT.

This seminar will review research on the effects of bilingual 
experiences on children's language development and discuss the social 
factors that can help children acquire and maintain fluency in more 
than one language.

This seminar will be held on Friday, December 9, 2005, from 12:00 PM 
to 1:30 PM in Room 56-114. The seminar is open to all members of the 
MIT community, free of charge.

Registration is required. You can register on the web at
