English is a tough enough language to teach and learn...can we, as teachers, start the trend of "de-jargonizing" and "de-acronymizing" English. We need words (not just acronyms) for a reason, especially for our counterparts who are in countries where English is not the primary language.

PLN stands for professional learning network. TESOL has 2 types of communities of practice (COP): interest sections (IS) and professional learning networks (PLN). A PLN is a more informal, discussion group. You can find the full list of TESOL PLNs at: https://www.tesol.org/connect/communities-of-practice.
