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.
Thank you for sharing this information with colleagues in the field.
