I. Please respond:
A) REVIEW the attached informational PDF file on TESOL, Inc. (if you get a warning window, click “OK”-ignore it-, it
will not affect your ability to read the file) and answer the following questions:
1. What is TESOL’s mission?
Incorporated in 1966, Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages, Inc. (TESOL), is a global
association for English language teaching professionals headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, USA. TESOL
encompasses a network of approximately 60,000 educators worldwide, consisting of more than 14,000
individual members and an additional 45,000 educators within the 100 plus TESOL affiliate associations.
TESOL’s mission is to ensure excellence in English language teaching to speakers of other languages.
2. Briefly name and discuss the purpose of regular TESOL publications, and about
other information resources available to its members.
To engage its members and colleagues in ongoing discussion of current issues, ideas, and opportunities in
the field of English language teaching, TESOL publishes two serials: TESOL Quarterly, a scholarly, refereed
journal; and Essential Teacher, a magazine offering articles of interest to teachers across the profession.
Books, professional papers, and other resources on a wide range of theoretical and practical topics sustain
sound professional development. TESOL's electronic resources include an extensive Web site, a survey of
employment opportunities (Placement E-Bulletin), a newsletter with timely links related to the field (TESOL
Connections) and the TESOL Resource Center, an online platform where members can access and share
teaching resources.
3. How does TESOL define the fields of ESL, EFL and ESP fields?
The field of TESOL is a multifaceted academic discipline and profession with a distinct pedagogy that
requires specialized training. That someone speaks English does not by itself
qualify that person to teach it, especially to those who are learning English as an additional language. TESOL
focuses on how to use English as a world language and how to
understand and become acquainted with the various cultural practices of English-speaking people.
4. Does TESOL offer professional teacher education programs directly to its

members? If not, what does TESOL say about available teacher education programs?
Teaching ESOL is a multifaceted, academic discipline requiring training in linguistics, language acquisition,
language pedagogy, methodology, materials development, testing and research, curriculum and syllabus
design, program administration, and cross-cultural communication.
Professional preparation in TESOL is available throughout the world. In the United States alone, there are
more than 200 institutions that offer BA, MA, and PhD programs to train TESOL professionals. Similar training
is available in England, Australia, Canada, and other countries.
Although a teacher education program may have the acronym TESOL in its name, it refers to the discipline in
a
general sense and does not indicate that the institution is affiliated with the association. TESOL, the
association, does not endorse or lend its name or logo to individual
programs. TESOL does not have institutional members; rather, it is an individual membership association.
B) Please visit www.tesol.org, locate the appropriate links on the welcome page, and answer the following questions:
5. If you decided to join TESOL as a practicing English teacher in the Dominican
Republic, what would be your annual fee for one year?
My annual fee would be of 60 a year.
What advantages do you see personally –in your professional activities- by becoming
a TESOL member? Please discuss briefly.
TESOL provides the resources that each professional needs to do their job every day. Being a TESOL
member will help me to be more effective in my professional career, more informed and more skilled in the
field of teaching and learning of English.
6. Click on the TESOL interest sections page page,

http://www.tesol.org/connect/interest-sections , visit two interest sections links of the
21 options listed, and discuss in a brief and concise manner why these two would
attract your attention in particular as a professional English language educator.
English as a foreign lamguage. This attract my attention because teaching EFL can be used to teach to
persons with differents first languages, so, as proffesional I will have more jobs oportunities.
Supporting Students With Disabilities. I like to help those students and teach those students. Help them to
be better and unleashed their full potential and let them know that it doesn´t matter that they have a disability
they can be successful.
II. Mini-lesson plan design:
Using a blank copy of the eclectic lesson plan template shown on the next page AND the attached Task-Based
Learning (TBL) descriptive file (PDF format), design a mini-lesson in which Task-Based Learning (TBL) is being used. You
are free to choose the activities for the task, but make sure that you are also delivering language content. For
example, let’s pretend you’d want to have students discuss a traffic accident situation; keep in mind the scene of a
minor car accident, the characters who would intervene, etc, but what kind of English language content is needed:
reporting in the past tense (what happened?), sequence of events (first, second, then, etc.), and so forth. If you have
not had much experience designing a lesson plan, relax. Just include the information on the chart that YOU would
consider is needed for the lesson, and in the order you’d want to see it done. Not all items in the lesson plan have to
be responded, but there should be a clear idea of the sequence and items to be present in the lesson.
