What is Jeju KOTESOL?
KOTESOL: Korea Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages is a professional organization for teachers of English. Our main goals are to assist members in their self-development, and improve ELT in Korea. KOTESOL allows teachers to connect with others in the English Language Teachers community and find teaching resources in Korea and abroad through KOTESOL publications, conferences and symposia, and chapter meetings and workshops.

The Jeju Chapter of KOTESOL meets 8 times a year for a variety of events. We concentrate on helping our members with their professional development. We use a variety of workshops and training seminars led by highly experienced professionals to achieve this. Our meetings are conducted in English. Korean and Foreign teachers are welcome to attend.

KOTESOL Regional Conference - Blending Tradition with Innovation
On June 27, 2015 Jeju KOTESOL will hold its first KOTESOL Regional Conference. Regional conferences are designed to bring a wider range of resources and expertise to areas that would otherwise go without.

The Jeju conference will be 4 hours long beginning with a plenary session given by Peadar Callahan, KOTESOL National President. The following three hours will consist of 9 sessions of 45 minutes for the attendees to choose from. The 9 sessions will include workshops, seminars and talks that follow the theme of Blending Tradition with Innovation. This theme will review traditional teaching techniques while introducing more modern ideas that can be used in the classroom to improve the learner experience and overall level of English.
