The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Bilingual Education and Minority Languages Affairs (OBEMLA) is organized around three Regional Clusters (Eastern, Midwestern, and Western) that are coordinated with the Comprehensive Regional Assistance Center Network. The three Regional Clusters contain all programs and projects for Parts A, B, and C of Title VII. Clusters are organized by State and all projects contained in states are assigned to their respective clusters. States are assigned to clusters by factors such as LEP count and geographic location. Clusters include program specialists with collective knowledge of all Title VII programs.

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.
