TESOL CALL-IS is pleased to offer this presentation of The Electronic Village Online: Best of 2019, highlighting outstanding sessions from this year's EVO. Every year, for five weeks in January-February, participants and ESOL experts engage in collaborative, online discussion or hands-on virtual workshops of professional and scholarly benefit. These five-week sessions allow a fuller development of ideas than is possible in convention sessions. EVO sessions are sponsored by a TESOL Interest Section or affiliate, an IATEFL Special Interest Group, or other groups or affiliates, who provide no financial support. You can visit http://evosessions.pbworks.com/ to learn more.
