TESL Nova Scotia is an association of people concerned with the teaching and learning of English as a Second Language (ESL) in Nova Scotia. Membership is open to everyone. Workshops and/or a spring mini-conference, a web-based newsletter, an annual fall conference, and membership in TESL Canada provide opportunities for professional development and the sharing of ideas and concerns.
TESL NS forms professional links with other regional associations and individuals involved in or interested in ESL teaching, and with TESL Canada, the national organization which links the provincial TESL associations.
TESL NS fosters scholarship, research and professional development among teachers and others involved in ESL in Nova Scotia.
An annual conference enables TESL NS members to learn from and share information with local, national and international specialists in the field of English language teaching.
A regular web-based newsletter keeps members in touch with local activities and developments in ESL. The newsletter has been available on the TESL NS website since summer 2001.
