TitleTESOL Electronic Village Online
Body
Beginning this week, TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) is offering 13 online workshops for language teachers on topics such as readers' theatre, blogging in the classroom, creating video projects, and more.

People who register for the workshops can receive messages through their email or read the messages online. Some workshops will provide readings for participants as files or links on webpages, while others require no outside reading. Participants can engage in daily interactions with the moderators and other participants, or simply can "lurk," reading the messages. Some workshops will include optional online meetings via voice chats. Some of these workshops are designed specifically for ESL/EFL teachers, but most of them will be applicable to any foreign language classroom at any level. These six-week workshops are free and run entirely by volunteers, many of whom are experts in their field.

The workshops begin on Monday, January 15, but you can sign up any time that first week without missing much "instruction" (you can also read any messages you've missed online).

We hope you'll be able to join us, ask questions, share ideas, and try out new techniques in your classroom as a result.

Here's the webpage with descriptions of all the workshops and directions for signing up: http://evo07sessions.pbwiki.com .
