What this portfolio attempts to show

The purpose of this portfolio is to promote myself as a professional in the field of TESOL (teaching English to speakers of other languages - often equated with or associated with ESOL Education, Bilingual Education, ESL, EFL, SLA, and Applied Linguistics). I hope that this portfolio will show where I am in my current state of professional development in this field and how far I have come. I also hope that, by making this portfolio, I can make information about myself available to any potential employers or people needing consultation. But most of all, I hope that by making this portfolio I can learn about myself as a TESOL professional, reflect on my own development, and consider my choices for the future.

 

How this portfolio is organized

This portfolio is organized according to the TESOL/NCATE Standards for the Accreditation of Initial Programs in P-12 ESL Teacher Education. These national standards were developed to guide teacher development programs in the development of their teacher candidates. Each section of my portfolio represents a different standard. By clicking any of the standards listed in the column on the left side of this page, one can read about the standards, learn how I adhere to them as a TESOL professional, and view documents to support my claims.

 

note:
These standards were copywritten by Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages, Inc. (TESOL) in 2002.
