The
Electronic Village Online Sessions
For six
weeks, participants can engage with ESOL experts 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 land-based TESOL convention and will allow a fuller
development of ideas and themes of the convention or of professional
interest in general. The sessions are free
and open to all interested parties. You do not need to be a TESOL
member to participate.
Sessions
are organized by TESOL's CALL Interest Section and run wholly by
volunteers who have donated their time to serve the profession.

any

January 1st.
Registration closes January 15.
Sessions run from January
16 to February 26.
We strongly recommend
