Dear Educators,
We are pleased to inform you that a new TESOL affiliate is now being formed, and you are being invited to join us! WyoTESOL will be centrally located in Cody, Wyoming and will offer professional development for educators of all levels.
TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) is a Global Education Association headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia which was founded in 1964. Since its inception 45 years ago, TESOL’s mission has been to develop and maintain professional expertise in English language teaching and learning for speakers of other languages worldwide.
Our WyoTESOL affiliate will offer local and accessible professional development for all educators who work with students whose native language is other than English. WyoTESOL will provide a venue for educators to meet, discuss, and exchange solutions to various issues related to English-language teaching. Our affiliate will have three different Interest Sections designed to address the unique demands of language teaching in various settings: Adult Education (for university and community college instructors; K-12 Bilingual Education (for K-12 educators), and On-Line ESL Education (for on-line ESL instructors).
WyoTESOL will hold its first annual 2-day conference in Cody this April 23-24, 2010 and will publish a quarterly on-line newsletter with information and ideas designed to enhance and promote professionalism and student achievement. Membership at all levels is only $10.00 per year: a small investment which promises to yield great benefits for your students.
Please consider joining WyoTESOL today. Joining is easy! There are two simple options: either email elizabeth@wyotesol.org to receive an application form -OR- Plan to attend our April WyoTESOL conference and join then.
You will receive all WyoTESOL correspondence (including confirmation of your membership, the quarterly newsletter, conference information, balloting information, etc.) via the internet. Check this blog often for updates and information about WyoTESOL.
Thank you, The WyoTESOL (provisional) Board
