Linking theory and practice

Welcome to Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) academic. We disseminate TESOL-based research by linking the work of academics to teachers, teacher-trainers, teacher-trainees, decision-makers and other researchers.  We provide a global forum for academics to talk (via a webcast) about how their research, or an aspect of it, impacts on language pedagogy. All postings on this site have (indirectly) gone through the peer review process. 

We link theory and practice through a series of video webcasts:

  • Keynotes in which leaders in the field talk about their work. 

David Little, Amy Tsui, David Nunan, Anne Burns and Keith Johnson have all contributed to this section.  Jack Richards, Jennifer Jenkins and Paul Nation will be submitting talks in the coming months.

  • Book-based clips where authors and editors talk about their recent publication. 

With contributions from Garton & Richards (2008), Kirkpatrick (2007) and Edge (2006). 

  • Research-papers  where presenters talk about an article which they have authored. 

Researchers with publications in The English Language Teaching Journal (ELTJ), TESOL Quarterly, System, The Journal of English for Academic Purposes and Language Teaching Research have all contributed to this section.

 

Sponsorship and support:  We invite sponsorship and we welcome patronage from individals or relevant organisations.  Help support this free non-commercial service to the gobal TESOL community and have such support fully recognised on this site.  We attact 1,000s of visitors from all over the world each and every month!
