ActivitiesThis year the TEIS leadership team is working to host a full slate of compelling and varied webinars. So far we have hosted three webinars, one on a new journal,
Second Language Teacher Education, another on using TESOL's website as a resource in teacher education courses, and a discussion on representation in teacher-education content and materials. Find these and other interest section webinars by following TESOL International on YouTube (
https://www.youtube.com/c/tesolinc).
Upcoming this fall and next winter, we'll host talks on Language and Social Justice; Pragmatics in Teacher Education; Culturally Responsive Teaching in TESOL Teacher Education; and Using Authentic Writing in the Teacher Education Classroom.
Get involved!
Please consider writing an article for the newsletter or presenting a TEIS Talk webinar on your area of expertise or interest. Please also consider serving as a TEIS leader. If you're at the annual convention, please do join us for our business meeting and our dinner afterwards.
