Associate Professor, TESOL
C&T 100 Presentation
What is TESOL?
In todays mobile, global world, English has emerged as the
means through which people connect, converse, and transact.
Demand for English language learning has never been
greater. Unfortunately, the quality of English language
teaching for speakers of other languages varies widely, and
standards are inconsistent. Fluency in English alone does
not make a great teacher. Teaching English is a science
and an art, requiring skill, training, and expertise. For
nearly 50 years, TESOL International Association has been
bringing together educators, researchers, administrators, and
students to advance the profession of teaching English to
speakers of other languages. With more than 12,000 members
representing 156 countries, and more than 100 worldwide
affiliates, TESOL offers everyone involved in English language
teaching and learning an opportunity to be part of a dynamic
community, where professionals like you connect with and
inspire each other to achieve the highest standards of
excellence.
