These sessions will bring together participants for a longer period of time than is permitted by the four-day land-based TESOL convention and will allow a fuller development of ideas and themes of the convention or of professional interest in general. The sessions are free and open to all interested parties. You do not need to be a TESOL member to participate. Sessions are organized by TESOL's CALL Interest Section and run wholly by volunteers who have donated their time to serve the profession.
