TESOL ELECTRONIC VILLAGE
In January and February, the CALL Interest Section offers the opportunity to
participate in the Electronic Village Online (EVO), a professional development
project and virtual extension of the TESOL 2005 convention in San Antonio,
Texas, in the United States. For 6 weeks, participants and ESOL experts can
engage in collaborative online discussion sessions or hands-on virtual workshops
on such topics as ESP, creating language games online, content-based EFL,
digital video editing, and cooperative learning for global education. These
sessions bring together participants for a longer period of time than is
permitted by the 4-day convention and allow a fuller development of ideas than
is otherwise possible. The sessions are free and open to all interested parties.
