Dr. Lendvay has worked for the Dallas Independent School District for the past 7 years teaching at Hillcrest High School. Before joining DISD, Greg was involved in adult education and curriculum design. He holds a Ph.D. in Psychology. His interest and focus has been in the psychology of learning, especially the interactions among perception, memory, and imagination and their impact on language acquisition. Recently Greg has used Microsoft Word and Powerpoint to develop classroom learning activities that concentrate on vocabulary building, stories with narrations, and illustrations of grammar. The vocabulary building exercises for students have been a great success. "Every time I have offered the LOTE Modules with Ms. Serrano [Greg's training partner], I have learned something new from the process and the participants. It has been a valuable experience for me. The modules are a wonderful opportunity for teachers to plan with the TEKS objectives for LOTE in a positive, hands-on manner. The workshops have helped me focus on the acquisition needs of my students in a dynamic and creative way and be a better LOTE teacher."
