Adult Education

The Adult SIG is a place where all are welcome, whether you are new to the field of Adult ESOL, a veteran, or somewhere in-between. The Adult SIG is a community of educators who have the interests of the adult ESOL learner in mind and are looking to share ideas, challenges and success stories with peers. As a member of the Adult SIG, you shall be privy to a whole world of wonderful workshops and presentations given by peers, with the specific educational needs of the adult ESOL learner in mind. To get a complete picture of how your Adult SIG can work for you, attend the fall convention and spring SIG events where workshops and presentations will provide a wealth of information that is immediately usable and relevant. For more information, contact one of the Adult SIG co-chairs or any member of the WATESOL Executive Board. If you are working or volunteering in the field of Adult ESOL and you are looking to network with like-minded people, this is the place for you.
