About SETESOL
Southeast Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (SETESOL) is a regional council of nine TESOL, Inc. affiliates representing 11 states in the southeastern United States. All affiliate members are considered members of SETESOL. Each affiliate has representatives on the SETESOL regional council. The council meets twice a year, and the regional conference is hosted by one of the state affiliates each year on a rotating basis. The parent organization, TESOL, is a non-profit international organization headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia. TESOL’s mission is to develop and maintain professional expertise in English language teaching and learning for speakers of other languages. Collaboration in a global community, interaction of research and reflective practice for educational improvement, and respect for diversity and multiculturalism are among the core values of both the regional council and the parent organization.
SETESOL’s mission is to collect and disseminate information about developments in the teaching of English as a second language and to stimulate professional development by arranging for regional annual conferences.
