THE EV ONLINE SESSIONS
For six
weeks, participants and ESOL experts can engage in
collaborative, online discussion sessions or hands-on virtual workshops
of professional and scholarly benefit. These sessions will bring
together participants for a longer period of time than is permitted by
the four-day convention and will allow a fuller development of ideas
than is otherwise possible. The sessions are free
and open to all interested parties. You do not need to be a TESOL
member to participate.
