TESOL provides an opportunity to connect to others with the same students or professional aspirations but also provides an opportunity for leadership development, professional learning communities connections, and to make professional friends around the world. These types of connections allow us to support our students, teachers, and development in education.

The TESOL Convention is an excellent platform where the action and the vision meet, and where English Language professionals around the world converge, engage, and establish professional networks. The Convention is not just a conference; it is a community of teachers, researchers, administrators, policy makers, and stakeholders.
