I investigated TESOL, an online organization

TESOL, which stands for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages, is an organization that caught my attention. I'm always on the lookout for programs that will help me in my quest to become an outstanding bilingual teacher. This organization caters to the teachers of ESL and those that want to help new Americans succeed in this country. I was drawn to an article which was asking for support for a new bill which is aimed at assisting K-12 and adult ESL students. The bill was called the Strengthen and Unite Communities with Civics Education and English Skills Act of 2009 (HR 3249/S 1478). I for one am in support of this bill. Anything that will help new Americans learn English in a positive manner must be supported. The House of Representatives and The Senate should really think about approving this bill. Immigrants are here regardless, so in order for them to be more productive members of society they must acquire our language in a supportive way. I support any effort to provide assistance to ESL students (child or adult). I will encourage my group members to view this online organization. It's a keeper!;+)
