Welcome to the Electronic Village Online 2009
A professional development project and virtual extension of the TESOL Convention.
For six weeks , participants can engage with ESOL experts in collaborative, online discussion sessions or hands-on virtual workshops of professional and scholarly benefit. These sessions will bring together participants for a longer period of time than is permitted by the four-day land-based TESOL convention and will allow a fuller development of ideas and themes of the convention or of professional interest in general.
The sessions are free and open to all interested parties. You do not need to be a TESOL member to participate.
To view the 2009 EVO sessions, go to Call for Participation 09.
You may join sessions after January 2nd.
