For complete program and registration information, visit TESOL's Web site: http://www.tesol.org/s_tesol/seccss.asp?CID=1919&DID=11442 Faced with diverse classrooms, student turnover, limited resources, and increased pressure to raise student achievement, many teachers of adults have a major challenge in meeting the needs of all their students. Particularly in tough economic times, many teachers, especially part-time faculty, do not have access to the kind of ongoing professional development they need. In this presentation, two experienced teacher trainers explain how to apply the new TESOL Standards for ESL/EFL Teachers of Adults, sharing strategies, case studies, and resources. The standards give instructors a framework to self-evaluate and set goals to improve their skills, and it includes an evaluation tool to help instructors get started. Target audience: teachers of adults in a broad range of ESL and EFL settings worldwide, with a particular emphasis on U.S. contexts for teaching adults.
