Why Attend CATESOL?

Since its establishment in 1969, CATESOL has been supporting educators, administrators, students, staff, and others concerned with the teaching of English as a second or foreign language, standard English as a second dialect, or bilingual education.

Attending a CATESOL conference is an unmatched opportunity to maintain currency in our field. You will get up-to-date information about statewide concerns, issues, and teaching methods.

With workshops provided by experts and professionals in this field, you will get usable and practical ideas for supporting students. Learn today and use tomorrow.

You will have the opportunity to complete multiple hours of professional development by attending plenaries, workshops, educational materials expositions, and networking sessions.

You can share what you learn with others. When you return from the conference, you and your colleagues will be able to collaborate and exchange ideas based on what you discover at the conference. This benefits you, your department, and your students.

Support your colleagues and profession by attending workshops and submitting a proposal to present at the conference. This increases your visibility and credibility in the field.

Connect with a CATESOL interest group at the conference. Joining an interest group meeting is a step in establishing a community of practice focused on your needs and interests.

Support CATESOL through your participation and attendance. This has been a few difficult years and organizations like CATESOL appreciate your support to keep providing valuable information and training to the field.

Volunteer

CATESOL Is an all-volunteer association of teachers. Conference organizers can use all the help we can get. Onsite, preparation before the conference starts, and help after it ends -- in-person and remote -- we can use assistance in many capacities. Apply here.
