It’s been a mostly quiet summer in the community on our
multiple platforms: myTESOL, Facebook,
and Twitter.
Since April, the ICIS page on myTESOL has mostly been used to invite
people to submit proposals for papers and presentations to the TESL
Canada convention and The Font, a literary journal
for language teachers. The community has also been gathering ideas for
speakers for the ICIS academic session at the 2018 TESOL convention in
Chicago, Illinois, USA. Our Facebook group now has 102 members, and many
of us have been posting relevant content on its page a few times each
month. Our newer Twitter page has 40 followers, with new posts at a
similar rate as on our Facebook group page. We have yet to generate an
engaging discussion on any of these platforms, so if you have ideas for
online engagement, please contact me, Jeremy Slagoski, at slagoski23@gmail.com.
With the academic year starting for most of us, I expect our line of
work will inspire some ideas for discussion.
