About Us

Who We Are

TESL Canada Federation is the national federation of English as a Second Language teachers, learners and learner advocates. We are dedicated to advancing communication and coordinating awareness of issues for those concerned with English as a Second Language and English skills development.

TESL Canadians are your neighbours, classmates, colleagues, employers and teachers . We live along the front line of settlement integration, providing academic, vocational, sociocultural and linguistic instruction, cross cultural counselling, labour market access and citizenship training and multicultural liaison in both the workplace and the community.

TESL Canada members are defined as those individuals who are members in good standing in TESL Canada's provincial/territorial ESL organizations; all others, e.g., individuals, like-minded organizations and non-recognized institutions may subscribe to the TESL Canada Journal but cannot identify themselves as members.

Social Advocacy

TESL Canada advocates on behalf of those who require assistance regarding language and settlement issues. We provide organisational, technological and pedagogical support for language training programs and assistance in the establishment of like-minded associations in jurisdictions where none exist.

The TESL Canada Bulletin , a summary of news and views from our provincial members is published and distributed twice yearly.

The TESL Canadian Education Foundation was established in 1991 to ensure that guaranteed funds are available for bursaries, scholarships and advocacy work. The Foundation is currently in the process of building an endowment fund.

Scholarly Activity

TESL Canada Journal . Established in 1984 and published twice a year, the TESL Canada Journal is a fully refereed journal that publishes articles dealing with diverse aspects of English language training, including syllabus design, psycholinguistics, teacher training, computer assisted learning, testing and evaluation , applied linguistics, methodology and curriculum design.

National Conference and Learners Conference. Held regularly and co-hosted by one of our provincial associations, these conferences foster scholarship, networking, research and the regular exchange of ideas among those involved in English language teaching and learning.
