What is TESOL? A profession..
The teaching of English to speakers of other
languages is a professional activity that
requires specialized training. The fact that
someone speaks English as a native language does
not qualify that person to teach it -- especially
to those who are learning English as an
additional language. TESOL is different from
providing English language instruction for native
speakers of English. It concentrates on the
language and culture, not the literature of
English.

Electronic Textbook: Bilingual
Education. Bilingual education is unquestionably
a controversial issue. There are several people
and organizations in this country who, for
various reasons, are opposed to bilingual
eduation. The purpose of this page is not to
debate the issue, but to provide links to various
information available on the Internet. This
information includes current congressional policy
on and guidlines for bilingual education. In
addition, arguments in support of bilingual
education from the standpoint of the student and
the future of this nation. Following, there is
information for those in several areas of
interest in bilingual education. For example, for
those interested in pursuing careers in bilingual
education, there are a few universities with
program information to be accessed, as well as
information for students who may be eligible for
federal funding. Educators interested in
bilingual education program development may find
it useful to look at the information on which
types of programs are eligible for grants.
Educatiors at the University level or graduate
students may be interested to know that it is
federal policy to support research which will
furthur the quality of bilingual education.
Individuals interested in pursuing research will

willing to fund. For those directly involved in
bilingual education there are several lists of
resources that can be accessed through the
internet.

Online Writing Labs: Should We?
Will We? Are We? Abstract Hypertextual writing
resources, on the Web and elsewhere, are forcing
-- or is that "allowing"? -- students,
teachers and administrators to re-think and
re-evaluate the ways we help students learn to
write. Perhaps no resource available has had more
of an effect over the last year than the sudden
plethora of Online Writing Labs (OWLs) available.
