ORGANISER INFORMATION

About TESOL-SPAIN

TESOL-SPAIN was founded in 1977 as a small, independent, non-profit making Spanish association of English language teachers. Today it is a nation-wide organization with a membership that represents all sectors and regions of English language teaching in the country.

The organization provides a forum for colleagues to meet and share ideas and discuss professional issues. We aim to keep our membership abreast of current concerns with the goal of improving the quality and effectiveness of English language education at the regional and national level in Spain.

Through our regional structure, TESOL-SPAIN organises workshops and other events in different parts of the country throughout the academic year.

The TESOL-SPAIN monthly e-Newsletter keeps members informed about the latest trends and news in the field. We are always interested in receiving articles, news and reviews from all our readers, which can be submitted Rebecca Place at tesolspainpublications@gmail.com
