Bilingual Education Interest Section (BEIS)

The Bilingual Education Interest Section (BEIS) of TESOL has the purpose of supporting and promoting primary languages and literacies as fundamental to the acquisition of English as a second or additional language. BEIS supports the human right of all individuals to develop and maintain proficiency in a primary language, including a native signed language, and in English. Teachers of English to Deaf Students (TEDS) is part of BEIS.

The BEIS leadership team for 2013-14 is as follows:

  • Past Chair: Kristin Snoddon
