[Edling] Call for Survey Participants: 'Adult ESOL Education: The State of the Field'

[Andrew Sansone]

Calling all* adult ESOL teachers and program administrators*- *make your
voice heard!*

We are excited to announce a new and important research survey centered on
the experiences of *adult English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)
teachers and program administrators*.

We invite all ESOL practitioners and colleagues to participate in a
voluntary research survey that will collect data for an intersection panel
discussion titled ‘*Adult ESOL Education: The State of the Field*’ at TESOL
International’s 2023 convention, and which will potentially inform a
written research report.

In our field, we are missing data that reflects the programmatic details
and the experiences/perspectives of adult ESOL practitioners in the field.
Administrators and teachers lack a comprehensive view of adult ESOL, and we
hope to help change that with this survey.

We ask for a bit of your time to help close that gap, and to glean
critically important information that can help push our field forward.

*This survey is open to adult ESOL educators and adult ESOL program
administrators worldwide*, *regardless of membership or affiliation with
TESOL International.*

A link to the survey is below. Please share out to your networks!
