Welcome to the website pages of the IATEFL ESOL SIG.
We are an IATEFL Special Interest Group interested in ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages), run by a Committee of volunteers.
We provide news, events (PCE days, Conference Days and Webinars) and produce a newsletter – sign up to follow our website now and see what we do.
A message from our Co-ordinators….
Dear ESOL SIG members,
it is a great privilege for both of us to be the ESOL SIG co-ordinators and to work with our wonderful committee (Lora Agbosa, Sundeep Dhillon, Roshii Jolly, Maria Matheas and Kathryn Sidaway) – bringing together an international network of passionate ESOL practitioners. Our SIG is diverse, dynamic and dedicated to advocating for transformative ESOL provision. It comprises teachers and administrators working in various contexts, from refugee camps to higher education colleges to privately funded charities. We are passionate about what we do and know you are also. We aim to address your needs, current trends and challenges in our field, and external issues impacting our classroom practices.
We look forward to working with you and hearing from you!
