Welcome to ATESOL ACT

ATESOL ACT is the Association of Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages in the Australian Capital Territory. Our members work within a range of contexts including school education, adult new arrivals programs, ELICOS, tertiary studies and research programs.

 

We aim to support all teachers and learners of English as an additional language within the ACT. We offer workshops and seminars which cater for all professionals working in the TESOL field and welcome mainstream teachers with EAL/D students.

ATESOL ACT acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands and waterways where we live and gather – the Ngunnawal and Ngambri peoples, who, for many thousands of years, have occupied and nurtured this country and its beautiful Murrumbidgee River and Brindabella Ranges.

We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. We are especially thankful for the rich lessons that, as educators, we can learn from First Nations’ traditional and emerging cultures, knowledge, languages, histories and ways of learning here and across Australia.

We wish to express our sadness for the hardship, harm and hurt that has been part of colonial occupation of this country, and our sincere hope that, together, we can build a future of healing and harmony.
