{My Experiences Being a Member of TESOL}

{Hello Everyone! I joined TESOL International Association 

about a month and a half ago, and I would like to tell you 

my experience with this great association.} 

~TESOL is a professional organization for people who are interested in teaching English as a second language. They offer many resources for whatever you may need in teaching English as a second language. They have tools for teachers from elementary school teachers all the way to adult programs. ~

 ~I read some of the blogs on TESOL, and they were very insightful and helpful. I particularly liked the blog titled "Getting Ahead in English Outside of Class" by Alexandra Lowe. It talked about her method of getting her students to realize the importance of practicing English outside of class even with peers that have the same first language as they do. Although the blog comments/interactions are not that active, I highly recommend reading their blogs if you are interested in teaching English as a second language or you already do teach it; you can learn a lot from them. ~

~The other thing I really like about TESOL is that they offer great resources for teachers. They have lesson plans, articles, and tips. I read a lesson plan for elementary students on using music to teach English. It was easily adaptable and could easily be edited and tweaked to fit the needs of your class. 

TESOL is a great organization to join and an excellent resource for teachers who teach English as a second language. ~
