Statement of Purpose

Published on August 22, 2024

TESOL CALL-IS is the Interest Section for Computer-Assisted Language Learning and is a part of the international association of Teachers for Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). The CALL-IS Interest Section focuses on all aspects of using computers in language teaching. We work to increase educators’ awareness of the importance of CALL for English learners of all ages. We help educators recognize the role of CALL in second language development, We encourage research and scholarship, disseminate information, develop teaching materials, and advance teaching tools and methods.

Should you wish to reach out to any of the members, you should contact them via the myTESOL Community of Practice pages.
