The center is offring courses in Agriculture and Horticulture to secondary school leavers and also for mature students.
Description
The CALL Section of Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) provides language teachers with the opportunity to participate in the Electronic Village Online (EVO), with professional development to enrich the TESOL face-to-face conferences. The target audience for the sessions includes TESOL convention-goers and those who can only attend online. Interest Sections, Caucuses, and other member groups of TESOL are invited to sponsor sessions related to the convention.
Pesticides Application (PA)
For six weeks, participants and ESOL experts can engage in collaborative, online discussion or hands-on virtual workshops of professional and scholarly benefit. These sessions will bring together participants for a longer period of time than is permitted by the four-day convention and will allow a fuller development of ideas than is otherwise possible. Sessions may be on any topic in ESL/EFL and are free and open to all interested parties. Session leaders (moderators), who must be TESOL members, will receive hands-on training in online discussion management and the use of Yahoo! Groups, and they may be asked to help train future session leaders. Moderators need not have previous experience in online teaching. Sessions of EVO must be sponsored by an Interest Section, Caucus, or other member group of TESOL. For further information, please read: What is EVO?
Duration
The sessions run for three weeks in December.
