TESL Toronto's mandate is to support professional
development for teachers of English as a Second Language,
to work with the provincial organization, TESL
Ontario, and other affiliates to enhance ESL learning
environments, and to establish and promote standards
in the teaching of ESL.

We offer professional development conferences twice a year.
These conferences provide ESL teachers from Toronto and vicinity
with the opportunity to attend hands-on workshops and to browse
through the latest selection of ESL publications displayed
by publishers. Participants also have the chance to hear about
current issues in the profession in workshops focussing on
current ESL-related research.

TESL Toronto is run by a volunteer executive
board. Board members represent the wide variety of contexts
in which teachers of English as a Second Language work:
boards of education (Elementary, Secondary and Continuing
Education), private language schools, community settlement
agencies and LINC (federal settlement program).
The executive consists of committees that undertake the planning
of various events and new initiatives such as organizing conferences
and workshops, submission of newsletter articles, website
design. The committees actively meet, plan and organize as
well as report to the executive monthly. Members are welcome
to participate in their area(s) of interest.
