IALL Breakfast Session
This session was organized the last minute and was not announced in the schedule. Flyers were posted on BBs which attracted about ten participants.
There was no booth at the conference. I didn’t have an IALL brochure, so I made up a three-page handout.
IALL's relationship with TESOL is very important. Between ten and fourteen thousand members attend TESOL annual conventions each year, most of whom are becoming more and more interested in using technology in the classroom. All technology sessions fill up very quickly.
We need to recruit more language educators. We need to work closely with big organizations like TESOL to give IALL more visibility.
